DISTURBANCE-REJECTION CONTROL FOR THE HOVER AND TRANSITION MODES OF A NEGATIVE-BUOYANCY QUAD TILT-ROTOR AUTONOMOUS UNDERWATER VEHICLE

Disturbance-Rejection Control for the Hover and Transition Modes of a Negative-Buoyancy Quad Tilt-Rotor Autonomous Underwater Vehicle

This paper proposes a Negative-buoyancy Quad Tilt-rotor Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (NQTAUV), for which an attitude-tracking controller is designed for the hover and transition modes based on a disturbance-rejection control scheme.First, the structure of NQTAUV is illustrated, a mathematical model based on the Rodrigues parameters is proposed, an

Loss-induced nonreciprocity

Abstract Nonreciprocity is important in both optical information processing and topological photonics studies.Conventional principles for realizing nonreciprocity rely on Collagen magnetic fields, spatiotemporal modulation, or nonlinearity.Here we propose a generic principle for generating nonreciprocity by taking advantage of energy loss, which is
