Abstract
In this work, we propose a robust energy-optimal control that achieves 3-D path following for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) in environments with ocean currents. The actual algorithm is decomposed into two elements: setpoint computation and setpoint tracking. For setpoint computation, the surge velocity, heave velocity, and pitch angle setpoints are optimized by minimizing vehicle propulsion energy considering the uncertainty set defined by the state estimate and associated uncertainty. A line-of-sight (LOS)-based guidance law, which integrates direct and indirect drift angle compensation for reduced path-following error and path-convergence time, is established to compute the yaw angle setpoints. Two setpoint-tracking model predictive controllers, minimizing a weighted sum of setpoint-tracking error and control efforts, are designed to control horizontal and vertical vehicle motion with low computational complexity. Simulation is conducted on a lawnmower-type mission under different flow conditions in the presence of measurement noises and biased ocean current estimates. The performance robustness in path following and energy saving of the proposed approach is verified through extensive numerical and theoretical analysis.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
