Bioinspired locomotion and grasping in water: the soft eight-arm OCTOPUS robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The octopus is an interesting model for the development of soft robotics, due to its high deformability, dexterity and rich behavioural repertoire. To investigate the principles of octopus dexterity, we designed an eight-arm soft robot and evaluated ...

Mechatronic design and locomotion control of a robotic thunniform swimmer for fast cruising.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This paper presents mechatronic design and locomotion control of a biomimetic robotic fish that swims using thunniform kinematics for fast cruising. Propulsion of the robotic fish is realized with a parallel four-bar propulsive mechanism that deliver...

Adaptive Robust Output Feedback Control for a Marine Dynamic Positioning System Based on a High-Gain Observer.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
This paper develops an adaptive robust output feedback control scheme for dynamically positioned ships with unavailable velocities and unknown dynamic parameters in an unknown time-variant disturbance environment. The controller is designed by incorp...

Ultra-fast escape maneuver of an octopus-inspired robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
We design and test an octopus-inspired flexible hull robot that demonstrates outstanding fast-starting performance. The robot is hyper-inflated with water, and then rapidly deflates to expel the fluid so as to power the escape maneuver. Using this ro...

Large Tanker Motion Model Identification Using Generalized Ellipsoidal Basis Function-Based Fuzzy Neural Networks.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
In this paper, the motion dynamics of a large tanker is modeled by the generalized ellipsoidal function-based fuzzy neural network (GEBF-FNN). The reference model of tanker motion dynamics in the form of nonlinear difference equations is established ...

A Novel approach to ship valuation prediction: An application to the supramax and ultramax secondhand markets.

PloS one
Accurate ship valuations are very important in ship sales and purchase (S&P) transactions and for marine insurance purposes. It is equally important to select an appropriate valuation methodology. Today, one of the methods is Machine Learning (ML) al...

Sensor-Based Fuzzy Inference of COVID-19 Transmission Risk in Cruise Ships.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Cruise ships are densely populated ecosystems where infectious diseases can spread rapidly. Hence, early detection of infected individuals and risk assessment (RA) of the disease transmissibility are critical. Recent studies have investigated the lon...

Distinguishing multiple surface ships using one acoustic vector sensor based on a convolutional neural network.

JASA express letters
A direction of arrival (DOA) estimation method based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) using an acoustic vector sensor is proposed to distinguish multiple surface ships in a selected frequency band. The cross-spectrum of the pressure and partic...

Data driven source localization using a library of nearby shipping sources of opportunity.

JASA express letters
A library of broadband (100-1000 Hz) channel impulse responses (CIRs) estimated between a short bottom-mounted vertical line array (VLA) in the Santa Barbara channel and selected locations along the tracks of 27 isolated transiting ships, cumulated o...
