Shallow water environments pose daunting scenarios for the operation of Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs), due to significantly larger wave disturbances being present in comparison to a typical deep sea situation. Performing inspection and maintenance tasks at close quarters in these conditions requires reliable control methods robust to external disturbances, allowing accurate position and atti...
