Autonomous Robotic Platform in Harm Environment Onboard of Ships

Abstract

Structural and machinery failures in the day-to-day ship operations may lead to major accidents, endangering crew onboard, posing a threat to the environment, damaging the ship itself and having a great impact in terms of business losses. Maintenance is a primary service to be performed in complex systems, especially those whose failures can compromise personnel and environmental safety, such as large ships on sailing. In this paper we present a proposed system for Harm Environment Onboard of Ships applications. It is low cost, open source software using robotic, embedded systems and IoT technologies. It offers protection of human resources in applications that are hazardous to human work.
