A need fer stable and comfortable cabins in the high-speed passenger ships has increased. For active control of the motion of the ship cabin, a few control algorithms have been applied to the three dimensional real models in the vibration basin. Experimental results show that the feedforward neural network with a linear feedback controller is one of the promising control algorithms for this active control.

The demand for the stable and comfortable cabin of a high speed passenger ship is increasing. The study on shipboard comfort has been mainly concentrated on the motion control of a whole hull body. In this study, however, a new control system operated by two parallel robots (3RPS, 3SPR) such as the active suspension system of motor vehicle is proposed. The goal of this control is keeping zero velocity of the upper robot (cabin) although the lower robot (ship) is moving by the waves. Jacobian matrix was used to design the controller, From the simulation results, the remarkable reduction of motion of the cabin (upper platform) was observed. The 3SPR parallel robot shows better performance compared to the 3RPS robot.
