Abstract
In this chapter, the in-mission optimization of the propulsion and control systems of AUVs is developed. This optimization is aimed at obtaining parameters to adapt a dynamically reconfigurable propulsion to underwater infrastrtuctures monitoring missions. The hydrodynamic model of the AUVs is examined. Additionally, a four-thrusters fixed propulsion system is proposed and modelled. A control method using the hydrodynamic model is developed and adapted to our AUV topology. The optimization is used to find suitable vectorial-thrusters orientations and control parameters in order to execute given robotic tasks, speeding up the convergence and minimizing the energy consumption. This is done using a genetic algorithm, which is a stochastic optimization method used here for task-based design. The optimization results are used for readily adapt the vectorial propulsion system to different tasks specificatins, making the AUV dynamically reconfigurable.
