Abstract: The ocean resources are extremely plentiful and diverse but human being’s capability is still limited to utilize these available natural resources and exploitations are being faced numerous challenges. Therefore, several types of research about underwater vehicles are developed, in particular, the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV). It is undeniable that AUV is the mainstream equipment for underwater scientific research and engineering. However, it remains a great challenge for AUVs to carry out near-seabed operations because of their poor maneuverability. For these reasons, a new design for a high-maneuverability disc-shaped AUV is proposed, namely, the Autonomous Underwater Helicopter (AUH). The current situation illustrates that the AUH’s control is difficult in transmitting data due to the effects of external noise. In this study, AUH’s control algorithm through dynamic analysis is given by using a PID controller to optimize AUH’s maneuverability and velocity as well as tested the simulation results in MATLAB software.
