The mission of the research program is to increase safety on maritime vessels by advancing motion compensation systems and robotics. Specific issues arise, due to the relative motion between bodies during cargo transfer of two floating platforms and during launch and recovery operations. To increase operational availability and welfare during maritime load transfers, the research program focuses on developing technologies that can be used to model, predict and compensate for the relative motion on all axes. The ultimate goal of the program is to reliably launch, recover or transfer any load or object from the sea surface or another vessel to the host ship irrespective of weather conditions or relative motions. The program takes a systems level approach to the problem to make advances in: control algorithms, system modelling, machine vision, robotic actuation, and mechanical design of marine deck machinery and robotics.***This NSERC Discovery Grant specifically focuses on fundamental model development and advancing a prediction algorithm for control systems. The control system developments will reduce power consumption and failure modes of marine motion compensation systems. Moreover, the research will alter the typical ‘reactive' methodology to a ‘proactive' system to mitigate and prevent collisions and other calamities during marine lifting operations. The proposed research also will investigate the integration of a complete crane and winch system to mitigate the relative motions during operations. The advances carried out under this Discovery Grant will assist the program towards its ultimate goal. Moreover, the research carried out over the next five years will help the $5 billion Canadian marine industry, as it will assist in improving the safety of maritime equipment. The funding of the Discovery Grant will directly support 1 PhD, 6 MASc, and 5 BASc students.

该研究计划的任务是通过推进运动补偿系统和机器人技术来提高海上船舶的安全性。在两个浮动平台的货物转移过程中，以及在发射和回收操作过程中，由于物体之间的相对运动，会出现一些具体问题。为了提高海上负载转移期间的操作可用性和福利，研究计划的重点是开发可用于建模、预测和补偿所有轴上相对运动的技术。该计划的最终目标是无论天气条件或相对运动如何，都能可靠地将任何负载或物体从海面或另一艘船发射、回收或转移到主船上。该计划采用系统级方法解决问题，在控制算法，系统建模，机器视觉，机器人驱动以及海洋甲板机械和机器人的机械设计方面取得进展。***这项NSERC发现资助特别侧重于基本模型开发和推进控制系统的预测算法。控制系统的发展将降低船舶运动补偿系统的功耗和故障模式。此外，该研究将把典型的“被动”方法转变为“主动”系统，以减轻和防止海上起重作业中的碰撞和其他灾难。拟议的研究还将研究一个完整的起重机和绞车系统的集成，以减轻作业期间的相对运动。在“发现”基金下进行的进展将帮助该计划实现其最终目标。此外，在未来五年内进行的研究将有助于价值50亿美元的加拿大海洋工业，因为它将有助于提高海上设备的安全性。发现基金将直接资助1名博士生、6名MASc学生和5名basic学生。
