Abstract

Recently, many waste is getting into the ocean because of natural disasters and trash of illegality. These destroy the marine ecosystem and the great views around the ocean. Many methods are used for the removal of the waste in the ocean and one of the main waste forms is floating debris. In order to remove the waste, the nets are mostly used and the ships are recently used. However, many problems are occurred due to low number of people and techniques in the ship-based removal. To solve this problem, a surface robot for floating debris removal is developed. To verify the performance of the developed robot, tests of surge, yaw, and floating debris removal are executed. The test results show the possibility of real applications and the need for additional studies.

최근에는 자연재해 및 무단투기 등으로 인해서 해양으로 많은 양의 폐기물이 유입되고 있으며 그 영향으로 해양생태계가 파괴되고 미관이 훼손되는 등 해양환경이 오염되고 있다. 해양에 존재하는 폐기물 수거를 위해 여러 방법을 사용하고 있는데, 주로 수거되는 폐기물의 형태는 부유물이다. 부유물을 수거하기 위해 주로 그물을 사용하며 최근에는 선박으로 수거를 실시하고 있다. 하지만, 선박 수거에 있어서 인력 및 기술 부족으로 많은 어려움이 발생하고 있다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해서 부유물 수거용 수상로봇이 개발되었다. 개발된 로봇의 성능 검증을 위해서 Surge, Yaw, 부유물수거 등의 시험평가가 수행되었다. 시험평가 결과는 실제 적용 가능성 및 추가적인 연구의 필요성을 보여준다.
