We report a novel model-based nullspace adaptive trajectory-tracking control (NS-ATTC) algorithm for fully-actuated 6-degree-of-freedom (DOF) underwater vehicles which estimates unknown plant and actuator model parameters simultaneously. We provide a stability and convergence analysis with proof of asymptotically stable tracking error convergence, as well as a preliminary simulation study demonstr...
