Abstract
This article concerns experiments with a free-floating underwater robot with a two-dimensional, horizontal planar, two-link manipulator. Some dynamic models of underwater manipulators have been proposed, but only a few experiments have been carried out. Here, we derive a dynamic model for a free-floating underwater robot with a two-link manipulator, including the hydrodynamic forces, and validate the effectiveness of the model by simulation and experiment. We also show an experimental result using a resolved acceleration control method. These experimental results show the effectiveness the model and the control method.
