无人水下航行器在浅水区执行维护与勘测任务时,常受波浪、海流和湍流等水动力干扰影响,导致方向与速度剧烈变化,降低稳定性与机动性。海洋生物通过本体感知结合柔性鳍尾来抵御扰动。受此启发,本文提出具备本体感知功能的柔性可变形机翼,利用其连续变形自然反映来流变化:弯度突变直接体现流场扰动。通过解析该本体信号,干扰观测器可实时重构流场参数。我们建立了液压驱动柔性翼的动态模型,并实验验证其有效性。结果表明,基于曲率的传感能精确估计攻角扰动。进一步证明,利用此类本体估计值设计的控制器可有效抑制柔性翼升力响应中的扰动。该方法融合本体感知与干扰观测,模拟生物策略,为软体水下机器人在恶劣环境下的稳定运行提供新路径。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Unmanned underwater vehicles are increasingly employed for maintenance and surveying tasks at sea, but their operation in shallow waters is often hindered by hydrodynamic disturbances such as waves, currents, and turbulence. These unsteady flows can induce rapid changes in direction and speed, compromising vehicle stability and manoeuvrability. Marine organisms contend with such conditions by combining proprioceptive feedback with flexible fins and tails to reject disturbances. Inspired by this strategy, we propose soft morphing wings endowed with proprioceptive sensing to mitigate environmental perturbations. The wing's continuous deformation provides a natural means to infer dynamic disturbances: sudden changes in camber directly reflect variations in the oncoming flow. By interpreting this proprioceptive signal, a disturbance observer can reconstruct flow parameters in real time. To enable this, we develop and experimentally validate a dynamic model of a hydraulically actuated soft wing with controllable camber. We then show that curvature-based sensing allows accurate estimation of disturbances in the angle of attack. Finally, we demonstrate that a controller leveraging these proprioceptive estimates can reject disturbances in the lift response of the soft wing. By combining proprioceptive sensing with a disturbance observer, this technique mirrors biological strategies and provides a pathway for soft underwater vehicles to maintain stability in hazardous environments.
