Abstract:
To address the challenges in dynamic modeling of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle( AUV),this paper proposes a black-box identification method for nonlinear systems based on deep convolutional neural networks,taking into account the nonlinear characteristics of the AUV’ s six-degree-of-freedom( 6-DOF) motion. First,the frequency corresponding to the maximum amplitude of the rudder signal is extracted and used as a threshold for Variational Mode Decomposition( VMD) denoising. This reduces noise in the experimental data of the AUV model and resolves the issue of difficult parameter tuning in VMD decomposition. Then, a black-box model for the nonlinear system is constructed using Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory( Bi LSTM) and Attention mechanisms,with the Adam optimization algorithm employed to solve the AUV 6-DOF motion model. Finally,the AUV model data are used for model training and predictive validation,and the results are compared with modeling methods such as CNN-LSTM,CNN-BiLSTM,and CNN-LSTMAttention to analyze the velocity,Euler angles,and trajectory of AUV motion. Experimental results show that,compared to the CNN-LSTM model, the proposed method improves the Root Mean Square Error( RMSE), the coefficient of determination( R~2),and the Symmetric Mean Absolute Percentage Error( SMAPE) by 79. 29%,3. 84%,and 74. 41%,respectively,validating the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed dynamic modeling approach. This method provides an alternative strategy for precise obstacle avoidance and autonomous navigation of underwater vehicles.
