Abstract: Based on the mathematical model used in a self designed underwater vehicle, a simulation model is induced. Reasonable simplification has been made in model. Having analyzed the overall performance, correction to the system using the PID algorithm is proposed. The PID parameters are calibrated, and its effects on the digital PID controllers are analyzed. Simulation has been performed with Simulink providing some useful results.

Key words: underwater vehicle, simulation model, manipulative control, controller
