This book offers a comprehensive and practical guide to the design of advanced model predictive control (MPC) strategies for the three-dimensional motion control of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). It addresses the full six-degrees-of-freedom dynamics of AUVs using convex optimization-based MPC techniques, making the resulting control problems computationally tractable.
The book adopts a structured two-stage approach. The first stage provides a self-contained tutorial on advanced MPC design for uncertain systems, including strategies to ensure closed-loop stability. This equips students, academic researchers and engineers with the theoretical and practical foundations needed to understand and apply advanced MPC to complex systems. The second stage applies these methods to the real-world challenge of three-dimensional AUV motion control, offering novel control formulations that outperform conventional methods.
Throughout the book, special attention is given to robustness, constraint handling and optimization structure. Through detailed case studies and extensive simulations, including downloadable MATLAB® implementations in many cases, the book validates the proposed strategies against conventional methods using quantitative performance metrics to demonstrate improved control accuracy, robustness and efficiency. This makes Robust Model Predictive Control for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles a valuable resource not only for researchers and postgraduate students, but also for practicing engineers working on marine robotics and model-based control system design.

About the Author
Dr Isah A. Jimoh received his M.Sc. degree in Applied Instrumentation and Control from Glasgow Caledonian University, United Kingdom, in 2019, and completed his Ph.D. in Optimal Control Theory and Applications at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, in 2025. His research spans a wide range of interests, including model predictive control, nonlinear time-invariant control, dynamic optimisation, renewable energy systems, marine robotics, mechatronic systems and deep learning. Dr Jimoh has been recognised for academic excellence through prestigious awards such as the Commonwealth Scholarship Award from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), and the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) Award. He currently serves as a Lead Control Engineer at GE Vernova, where he applies advanced techniques to industrial challenges in the energy sector. He has authored over ten publications in leading international journals and conferences and is an active peer-reviewer for several high-impact journals and technical conferences. His work reflects a strong commitment to bridging theoretical research with real-world engineering applications.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Revaluation Books, Hounslow, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
