A Review on Self Stabilizing Platform in Scope of Merchant Navy Applications

Abstract

The advancement in robotics in the resent years has led to the integration of multiple disciplines of sciences to research and develop effective and reliable solutions for industries. This model is mainly focused on the Merchant navy industry where we have proposed the implementation if Self Stabilizing platform for various navy applications such as GLB/GLBE cranes, Helipads, etc. This model will be a 6 DoF/6 Axis model which is suitable for the movements for the scope of the applications proposed above. We have tried to fuse two different control methods for this model which are PID controller method and MEMS sensors methods which is a MUP6050 sensor. This model is better than the old mechanical link self-stabilizing platforms which are non-feedback control models. As the ship experiences storms the tilt in the bottom surface is detected and the upper platform tiles accordingly to maintain level and give stability to the GLB crane or the Helipad. This is a dynamic model which has real time active feedback.
