Abstract
A control system for controlling movement, position, or force for a mechanically connected object comprising a plurality of marine vessels. The control system includes at least one processor configured to: receive a movement, position or force command for the mechanically connected object; and generate at least one first command for a first marine vessel of the plurality of marine vessels and at least one second command for a second marine vessel of the plurality of marine vessels, to control movement, position, or force of the mechanically connected object in response to the movement, position or force command for the mechanically connected object.
Claims24
A control system for controlling movement, position, or force for a mechanically connected object comprising a plurality of marine vessels, the control system comprising:
- at least one processor configured to:
- receive a movement, position or force command for the mechanically connected object;
- and
- generate at least one first command for a first marine vessel of the plurality of marine vessels and at least one second command for a second marine vessel of the plurality of marine vessels, to control movement, position, or force of the mechanically connected object in response to the movement, position or force command for the mechanically connected object.
(canceled)
A method of controlling movement, position, or force of a mechanically connected object comprising a plurality of marine vessels, the method comprising, by at least one processor:
- receiving a movement, position or force command for the mechanically connected object;
- and
- generating at least one first command for a first marine vessel of the plurality of marine vessels and at least one second command for a second marine vessel of the plurality of marine vessels, to control movement, position, or force of the mechanically connected object in response to the movement, position or force command.
At least one computer readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions, which, when executed by at least one processor, perform a method of controlling movement, position, or force of a mechanically connected object comprising a plurality of marine vessels, the method comprising:
- receiving a movement, position or force command for the mechanically connected object;
- and
- generating at least one first command for a first marine vessel of the plurality of marine vessels and at least one second command for a second marine vessel of the plurality of marine vessels, to control movement, position, or force of the mechanically connected object in response to the movement, position or force command.
