Abstract
Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUV) are devices that perform task with slight
or no human interaction. These tasks are predefined set of commands called
navigation methods, that are used to achieve desired mission goals. The
navigation control system plays an important role in maneuvering of UUV
and without it UUV cannot perform any mission task. In this research article
a survey of different navigation techniques are presented for new design
of Underwater mobile robot named as AQUA-X Robot, which uses four (4) propellers
placed in cartesian coordinate configuration with parallel arrangement
which help it in batter navigation maneuvering. The detail working principles,
advantages and problems in different navigation techniques are thoroughly
discussed. Besides that, their implementation on UUV on a ranged mission
situation are also briefly described. Finally the accuracy of the different
navigation techniques are compared and based on this comparison a most
suitable navigation method is selected for developing AQUA-X UUV for better
navigation.
