An approach to the allocation of thruster forces of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is investigated. Generally, the number of thrusters in an AUV is more than what is minimally required to produce the desired motion. We investigate how to exploit the excess number of thrusters to accommodate thruster faults during operation. First, a redundancy resolution scheme is presented that takes into account the presence of excess number of thrusters along with any thruster faults and determines the reference thruster forces to produce the desired motion. These reference thruster forces are utilized in the thruster controller to generate the required motion. This approach resolves the thruster redundancy in the Cartesian space and allows the AUV to track the task-space trajectories with asymptotic reduction of the task-space errors. Results from both computer simulations and experiments are provided to demonstrate the viability of the proposed scheme. The paper is built upon the preliminary concept proposed earlier by Podder and Sarkar (1999).
