Maneuvering and Control of Surface and Underwater Vehicles: Course Description

'Maneuvering and Control of Surface and Underwater Vehicles' is an OpenCourseWare project by Professor Michael Trintafyllou and is designed for students that have an interest in the engineering and control of surface and underwater vehicles. This class meets twice a week and topics discussed include the derivation of equations of motion, hydrodynamic coefficients, nonlinear and linear forms of the equations of motion and control surface modeling and design. Other topics will be directed towards students with an interest in piloting surface vehicles and include how to remotely operate vehicles and towing in open seas.

Lecture notes, homework assignments and course materials are available for download for free online. If you are interested in this OpenCourseWare project, visit the motion engineering of surface and underwater vehicles homepage.
