This paper proposes a new hybrid robust control method for control of an autonomous underwater vehicle. Fractional sliding mode control (FSMC) is robust against external disturbances. The main drawback of the FSMC method is creating a chattering phenomenon. Therefore, a compound control method is applied, which benefits in both robustness of the FSMC method and chattering elimination by the new control algorithm. A random noise is applied in order to verify the robustness of the proposed control method. The stability of FSMC and proposed compound control method has been verified by Lyapunov theory. The effectiveness of the proposed control method is compared with FSMC, which numerical simulation results confirm the best performance of the proposed control method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
