REVIEW OF THE GUIDANCE SYSTEM OF AUTONOMOUS UNDERWATER VEHICLES IN CONFINED SEMI-STRUCTURED ENVIRONMENTS

This paper provides a review and summary of previous research on the guidance system of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs). It introduces the guidance system, analyzes its elements, and offers detailed explanations of its submodules: Guidance, Navigation, and Control. The paper also points out the current research limitations, noting that while there are numerous studies on autonomous underwater vehicles, most focus solely on hardware or navigation issues, with limited exploration of the integrated design of the guidance system. Additionally, a brief overview of the components of the guidance system for autonomous underwater vehicles in confined semi-structured environments is presented.
