This article addresses the problem of three-dimensional path following control for underactuated autonomous underwater vehicles in the presence of ocean current. Firstly, three-dimensional path following error model was established based on virtual guidance method. The control law is developed by building virtual velocity errors and backstepping method, which can simplify the virtual control input and avoid the singular problem induced by initial state constraints. Considering the curvature and torsion characteristics of the three-dimensional desired path, the approaching angle is introduced to guarantee fast convergence of error. Nonlinear damping term is introduced to offset the effects of dynamic uncertainties and external disturbances. The controller stability was proved by Lyapunov stable theory. Finally, simulations were conducted and the results indicate the effectiveness and robustness to parameter uncertainties and external disturbances of the proposed approach.
