AUTONOMOUS CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VESSEL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240111286 titled 'AUTONOMOUS CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VESSEL
Simplified Explanation
The autonomous control system for a vessel described in the patent application includes a route setting unit, a disturbance data acquisition unit, and an autonomous control unit. The route setting unit sets a route to a destination, the disturbance data acquisition unit acquires disturbance data from sources other than the vessel, and the autonomous control unit controls the vessel based on the route set and corrects the control based on the disturbance data acquired.
- Route setting unit: Sets a route for the vessel to follow to reach a destination.
- Disturbance data acquisition unit: Acquires data on disturbances from external sources.
- Autonomous control unit: Controls the vessel based on the set route and corrects the control based on the disturbance data acquired.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in autonomous shipping, unmanned underwater vehicles, and autonomous navigation systems for boats and ships.
Problems Solved
1. Ensures safe and efficient navigation by correcting vessel control based on disturbance data. 2. Reduces the risk of collisions and accidents by autonomously adjusting the vessel's course.
Benefits
1. Improved safety for vessels and crew. 2. Enhanced efficiency in navigation and route planning. 3. Reduced human error in vessel control.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimized for autonomous shipping industry applications.
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to autonomous control systems for vessels, such as existing autopilot systems or navigation aids used in maritime industry.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle communication with other vessels or obstacles in its path?
The patent application does not specify how the autonomous control system interacts with other vessels or obstacles in the vessel's path.
What measures are in place to prevent cyber attacks or hacking of the autonomous control system?
The patent application does not address cybersecurity measures to protect the autonomous control system from potential cyber attacks or hacking attempts.
Original Abstract Submitted
an autonomous control system and method for a vessel are provided. the autonomous control system includes a route setting unit, setting a route to a destination; a disturbance data acquisition unit, acquiring disturbance data from sources other than the vessel; an autonomous control unit, performing a control of the vessel based on the route set by the route setting unit and corrects the control of the vessel based on the disturbance data acquired by the disturbance data acquisition unit.
