Abstract
Unmanned vehicles necessitate extreme autonomy by the nature of being unmanned. Onboard systems must sense, decide, and act with minimal or no human
interaction. This manuscript elaborates the brief, sixty-day study of recent autonomy developments for unmanned underwater vehicles beginning with a rigorous
review of very recent literature and culminating with initial efforts to create computer simulations in MATLABĀ®/SIMULINKĀ® of the recent seminal publication of
deterministic artificial intelligence. The methods were developed for highly nonlinear circuits and later extended to spacecraft guidance and control before
recently being developed for unmanned underwater vehicles. Mathematical expressions of the governing physics are used to formulate self-awareness
statements, where optimal learning is used to discern unknown or unknowable properties. Critical analysis and selection of discretization and differential
equation solvers is offered using numerical precision as the key figure of merit for selection. Machine precision of the utilized software version was achieved in
validating simulations, where the simulation illustrated autonomous navigation without any kind of controller tuning. Recommendations are offered for future
studies utilizing the developed simulation environment.
