The "offshore of tomorrow" is being defined in our generation. Awaken by climate change, we were made aware that the exploration of fossil fuels for the sole use of thermal energy cannot be sustainable in the distant future. The effect humanity has played in changing the climate of the planet by the emission of greenhouse gases is a pressing agenda for many, if not all, countries committe…
This proposal describes an Engineering Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (AI) committed to conduct research in basic AI topics and to apply AI techniques to selected application areas --- namely, oil and gas industry, agribusiness, and health. The Center will also fund studies on the social and economic impact of AI, and will carry activities aimed at technology transfer and kno…
This project addresses the dynamic characterization, hydrodynamics and aerodynamics of the oceanographic ship Alpha Crucis using a reduced scale model and experimental tests. It will also be developed a real-time numerical simulator, including vessel's commands and control systems (DP System and Autopilot) as well as accessory equipment used in oceanographic research. The ship will be ins…
This project aims to apply the techniques of cooperative control to a system of two or more Dynamic Positioned (DP) vessels. Both topics (cooperative control and DP Systems) are individually well developed in scientific terms, but the combination of the two is still poorly studied. In addition, there are several applications for this development regarding offshore operations such as subse…
This research project comprises the investigation of model-based and data driven methodologies involved in the estimation of environmental loads acting on ships and oceanic systems, in order to design a monitoring system for ocean wave and current. The proposed system relies on the on-board measurements obtained from the vessel movements, its mathematical model and the information from ot…
Operations at the sea are heavily affected by the environmental conditions (currents, wave and winds) and for them to be safely planned an accurate forecast of the conditions is needed. Numerical simulations based on physical equations are often employed to forecast these those conditions, but their accuracy are limited by the accuracy and amount of known information about forcing and bou…
This research plan proposes the study of cooperative control methodologies in the control of multiple vessels. In particular, it will study the use of consensus strategies to control the formation of DP ships on offshore operations. This technique is yet underexplored and has great potential of improves not only at the coordination of multiple ships, but also at use of potency of the whol…
The research focuses on the area of control of mechanical systems and aims to develop theoretical and experimental techniques involving robust nonlinear control applied to nonlinear dynamic positioning (DP). Due to the nonlinearity of the system and the presence of unknown parameters, two robust control techniques are applied and compared: first order sliding mode control (SMC) and the hi…
