compatible with kinematic control strategies; it avoids representation singularities;<br />

it is modular, thus simplifying the software debugging and maintenance.<br />

Motion control of UVMSs was addressed inliterature inseveral papers.<br />

However, few experimental set-up exist which can perform autonomous vehicle/manipulator<br />

control.<br />

The next step in understanding and evaluating the efficiency and reliability<br />

ofthe different approaches passes necessarily through the practical<br />

implementation of such algorithms.<br />

In this sense, because of the symbolic analogy, numerical simulation analysis<br />

only can confirm the results already obtained in industrial robotics. It<br />

is obvious, on the other hand, that arigorous numerical simulation of all the<br />

subsystems of the UVMSs (sensors, thrusters, interaction, ecc.), is crucial to<br />

tune the control law parameters before starting wet tests.
