The CART project proposes a new concept for salvage operations of distressed ships at sea. In particular, the proposal focuses on the high risk operation of linking the emergency towing system of distressed ships to towing vessels. The proposed concept is based on the development of cooperative robotic technologies able to (semi-)automatically execute the manoeuvre of recovering the towing system. Since the core of the CART project consists of a new concept of intervention based on cooperative robotic technology during emergency salvage operations at sea, the activity of RTD performers will focus on: i) the design and development of unmanned marine vehicles suitable to fit the purpose of supporting the linking of a towing device to a tugboat; according to this objective the following technologies will be investigated and experimentally evaluated: i.1) an unmanned semi-submersible vehicle, ART – Autonomous Robotic Towing vehicle, This includes the study, design and implementation of an innovative guidance and control system able to execute relatively high accuracy manoeuvres with a small vessel in very rough sea state as well as the design and development of a modular system easily adaptable to other operational area; i.2) a robotised emergency towing device, i.e. an actuated pick-up buoy, B-ART, able to cooperate with the recovery system, manned or unmanned, maintaining a safe position with respect to the distressed vessel; ii) the study, design and implementation of cooperative manoeuvring strategies for guaranteeing the automatic recovery of the live-line also in very rough sea state. This involves the development of cutting-edge cooperative guidance methodologies integrated with models of cable displacement close to a rough sea surface; iii) the qualification procedures for the design, development and validation process of such a new technology; iv) the transfer of knowledge, including management of IPR and EC networking, to SME participants that have little or no research capacities. On the other hand, SME participants, which are technology suppliers and operators in the area of marine intervention and industrial automation, will define the requirements of the system on the basis of their technical and operational background and business exploitation plans, will validate the solutions proposed and developed by RTD performers through the design and execution of realistic demonstration activities, and will participate to system design and development. The CART system will be based on a prototype (semi-)autonomous USSV, called ART, and a robotised pick-up emergency buoy, named B-ART. ART, operated by a tugboat, will recover BART, connected to the distressed ship through a live-line, without requiring the presence of human beings on small vessels at sea and enabling to keep a safe range from the ungoverned ship, thus minimising risks for human lives. The main objectives of the CART project are summarised in the following: 1) to perform application-driven beyond the-state-of-the-art research in the field of cooperative marine robotic systems and guidance and control of small vessels in rough sea; 2) to validate the CART concept and demonstrate its fitness for purpose 2.a) to develop a modular CART prototype, including an ART USSV and a B-ART robotised pick-up buoy, for general concept validation 2.b) to develop a modular CART prototype for verifying its fitness for purpose 3) to transfer technology and know-how to the SME participants.
Short description of the task performed by Croatian partner
UNIZG-FER will coordinate the activities related to the development of the control and communication systems of the robotic platforms, as well as of the remote control station. The result of the system development will be a prototype system which will support the validation of the CART concept through trials in realistic operating conditions. The work of RTD performers during the two sessions of trials will be directed by UNIZG-FER and CNR-ISSIA respectively, that will have the duty of procuring suitable test facilities, e.g. support vessels, according to the specifications of PKL. A specific work-package, under the responsibility of the project coordinator (Posidonia S.r.l.), is devoted to executing activities oriented to training of SME personnel, dissemination, knowledge management and IPR protection. These activities are organised in corresponding tasks led by UNIZG-FER, the academic RTD performer, in the case of training.
