This paper presents an adaptive fuzzy logic controller for the Variable Buoyancy System (VBS) of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV). The control structure includes a fuzzy Large Range Depth Controller (LRDC) and a fuzzy Small Range Depth Controller (SRDC). The depth controllers bring the AUV to a desired depth by decreasing buoyancy, then descending to the desired depth and then restoring neutral buoyancy. Fuzzy rules adaptively determine the critical depth points for ballast adjustment based on a key parameter of the AUV dynamic model. This paper gives an explanation of fuzzy rule base for the LRDC and presents robust simulation results of the LRDC and SRDC.
