This article presents a unified state-space model for ship maneuvering, station-kee**, and
control in a seaway. The frequency-dependent potential and viscous dam** terms, which …

The technology of hydrodynamic modeling and marine craft motion control systems has
progressed greatly in recent years. This timely survey includes the latest tools for analysis …

Dynamic positioning (DP) and tracking systems for ships are usually designed under the
assumption that the kinematic equations can be linearized about a set of predefined …

engineers into a single volume whilst concentrating on two important research control

Dynamic positioning (DP) systems for ships are usually designed under the assumption that
the kinematic equations be linearized about a constant yaw angle such that linear and gain …

In this article, we have described the main components of a ship motion-control system and
two particular motion-control problems that require wave filtering, namely, dynamic …

Marine vessels with dynamic positioning (DP) capability are typically equipped with
sufficient number of thrusters to make them overactuated and with satellite navigation and …

A dynamic positioning (DP) system includes different control functions for the automatic
positioning and guidance of marine vessels by means of thruster and propeller actions. This …

In many industrial/manufacturing applications, a robot manipulator is required to make
contact with the environment (eg, contour following, grinding, scribing, deburring, and …

For many offshore activities, including offshore oil and gas exploration and offshore wind
farm construction, it is essential to keep the position and heading of the vessel stable. The …
