INRODUCION Underwer gliders re ype of uonoous underwer vehicle (AUV) h oves by odifying heir buoyncy nd cenre of ss hrough n inernl oving ss. herefore, oion conrol is chieved by vrying hese wo preers, which re ypiclly conrolled hrough feedbck. o speed up convergence nd iprove perfornce, feed forwrd coponen y be used. However, n underwer glider is subjeced o vrious environenl disurbnces such s curren disurbnce. For exple, wer curren he surfce cn slide he glider fro is pre-se rjecory, which requires ddiionl conrol effor o bring i bck o desired ph [-3]. In order o reduce he energy consued on ph correcion during sedy gliding, i is very iporn o sbilize he desired ph. However, lile work hs been done on gliding oion sbiliy involving curren disurbnces which cn esily shif he glider fro is desired rjecory.
