  • Recently, the applications of unmanned system are steadily increasing. Unmanned automatic system is suitable for routine mission such as reconnaissance, environment monitoring, resource conservation and investigation. Especially, for the ocean environmental probe mission, many ocean engineers had scoped with the routine and even risky works. The unmanned surface vessel designed for sea probes can replace the periodic and routine missions such as water sampling, temperature and salinity measuring, etc. In this paper, an unmanned surface vessel was designed for ocean environmental probe missions. A classical and an adaptive fuzzy control system were designed and tested for the unmanned surface vessel. The design methodologies and performance of the surface vessel and fuzzy control algorithm were illustrated and verified with this unmanned vessel system designed for sea probes.

  • In this paper, a controller based on repetitive learning control is designed to control an unmanned surface vessel with nonlinear characteristics and unknown parameters. First, we define the equations of motion and error system of the unmanned vessel, and then design an repetitive learning controller composed of system error and estimated unknown parameters based on repetitive learning control and adaptive control. The stability of the unmanned vessel model controlled by the designed controller is verified through the analysis of the Lyapunov stability. Simulation shows that the error converges asymptotically to zero with semi-global result, confirming that the unmanned vessel is moving toward a given ideal path, and verifies that the controller is also feasible.

The automatic system can replace the periodic and routine missions: water sampling, temperature and salinity measuring, etc. In this paper, an unmanned surface vessel was designed for routine and periodic ocean environmental missions. An autonomous control system was designed and tested for the unmanned vessel. A GPS and gyro compass was used for navigation. A linear autopilot model for course control can be derived from the maneuvering model. Nomoto's 2nd-order response equation was derived. The design methodologies and performance of the surface vessel were illustrated and verified with this linearized equation of motion. A linear controller was designed and automatic route tracking performance was verified for yaw subsystem.

  • A squid gill-net fishing vessel Jayueoroho which was being insured ITC-Hulls and was laid up long period illegally under the condition of unmanned in the Pert of Kamcheon. On 30, March, 1993, the fishing vessel moved out toward the high sea by assistance of two tugboats, 12 miles southeast from Teajongdae, to discharge sewage. At that time the shipowner, the skipper, chief engineer and two labourers were boarding, and a fire was broken out by electric leakage at sea. For all their efforts of fire-fighting operation the fishing vessel foundered with explosion. In this case, she had been breached the warranties of legality, especially Korean maritime acts concerned, and the warranties of seaworthiness(MIA 39(5)) as attributable cause because of unmanned on board by wilful misconduct of the insured. Therefore it is prima facie evidence that the insurer is not liable for any loss attributable to the wilful misconduct and breach of warranties of the insured in MIA 1906.

  • The purpose of this study is to develop unmanned equipment that can automatically move to the desired point and measure water quality at the correct depth. For this purpose, we constructed a water sampling lift and water sampling container, an unmanned vessel equipped with a VRS-GPS, an acoustic echo sounder, and a water quality sensor. Also, we developed an automatic navigation algorithm and program, an automatic water sampling program, and a water quality map generation program. As a result of the experiment in the detention pond, the unmanned vessel sailed along the planned route with an accuracy of about 93% within the error range of 3m. In addition, the water quality sensor installed in the lift was able to acquire the water quality of the target area in real time and transmit it to the server via wireless Internet, and it was possible to monitor the water quality of each site in real time. Through field experiments, the water sampling lift was able to control the desired length with an accuracy of about 94%. The stretch length accuracy experiment of the water sampling lift was impossible to measure directly in the water, so it was replaced land-based experiment. We also found some unstable problems due to the weight of the water sampling lift and the weight of the air compressor to operate the water container. Except these two problems, we accomplished purpose of this study. An automated water quality measurement method using an unmanned vessel can be used to measure the quality of water in a difficult to access area and to secure the safety of the worker.

  • This paper is to study a technique to detect the real-time route aberrance on the passage route using bumper area of the ship domain theory. In order to evaluate the risk of route aberrance, a quarter line was created between the center line and the outer line, and a passage route with the image line outside the outer line was designed. It calculated the real-time route aberrance with the vessel bumper area to measure the risk level on the passage route. The route aberrance using overlap bumper area was simulated through three kinds of scenario vessel at the designed passage route. In this paper, we proposed Ratio to Aberrance Risk as one of the evaluation parameter to detect the route aberrance risk at each sector in the passage route and to give the evaluation criteria of 5 levels for seafarer's navigation safety. The purpose of this work is to provide the information of the route aberrance to seafarer automatically, to make it possible to prevent the human errors of seafarer on the high risk aberrance route. As the real-time risk of route aberrance on the passage route is automatically evaluated, it was well thought that seafarer can have only a little workload in order to know the risk of route aberrance at early-time. Following the further development of this work, the techniques for detecting the real-time route aberrance will be able to use the unmanned vessel.

  • This paper addresses two interrelated problems concerning the tracking control of pod propulsion unmanned surface vessel (USV), namely, the modeling of pod propulsion USV, and tracking controller design. First, based on MMG modeling theory, the model of pod propulsion USV is derived. Furthermore, a practical adaptive neural tracking controller is proposed by backstepping technique, neural network approximation and adaptive method. Meanwhile, unlike some existing tracking methods for surface vessel whose control algorithms suffer from "explosion of complexity", a novel neural shunting model is introduced to solve the problem. Using a Lyapunov functional, it is proven that all error signals in the system are uniformly ultimately bounded. The advantages of the paper are that first, the underactuated characteristic of pod propulsion USV is proved; second, the neural shunting model is used to solve the problem of "explosion of complexity", and this is a combination of knowledge in the field of biology and engineering; third, the developed controller is able to capture the uncertainties without the exact information of hydrodynamic damping structure and the sea disturbances. Numerical examples have been given to illustrate the performance and effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

  • This asymed drone controller is indispensable for two components: Guidance and Controller. In which the Ministry of Guidance will receive waypoints from which to form an orbit then combine the data with the current location of the vessel, thereby calculating and also supplying the controller to drive the vehicle to follow the outlined trajectory. This article will use the Line Of Sight (LOS) algorithm to design the Guidance and Controller sets. The result as well as the effectiveness of the controller will be shown through matlab/SIMULINK simulation.
