Engineering and Applied Science Bibliography: leaves 107-112. -- Accompanying disk contains programs and data. Computed Load and Sliding Mode control strategies for robots make use of the overall equations of motion. Unfortunately, for robots working in a marine environment, these equations do not provide an accurate control because of a lack of good hydrodynamics data. -- The objective of the thesis is to incorporate the hydrodynamic loads, acting on robot arms working underwater, into the equations of motion.
