1st point :
>>> The equations of motion of an underwater vehicle having six degrees of freedom with respect to a body-fixed frame :

MRB : rigid body mass matrix
CRB(V) : theCoriolis and centripetal matrix
MA : added mass matrix
CA(V) : added Coriolis and centripetal matrix
DL : linear drag matrices
DQ|V| : quadratic drag matrices
g(n) : the resultant vector of gravity and bouyancy
2nd point :
>>> For the controller design and closed loop stability analysis, it is preferred to investigate the system with respect to the earth fixed frame of reference in order to maintain every state to a single reference frame.
3rd point :
>>> the arrangement of thruster in AUV.
>>> the rudder and stern control plans are ineffective during station keeping task , therefore it was decided to use the available two propulsion thruster and three vertical thruster for controlling depth pitch and yaw.
>>> two propulsion thruster are used to control surge and yaw.
>>> two aft maneuvering transfer are used for controlling heave and pitch motion.
>>> the roll axis state is asymptotically stable without any control inputs.
4th point :
>>> the station keeping controller used here is PID controller law is given as :
