Characterization and Modeling of Inertial Sensors for Rover Attitude Estimation

from: Javier Hidalgo Carrió  (European Space Agency - Polécnica University of Madrid)
On-going European developments in Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) sensors sponsored significantly by the European Space Agency (ESA) offer a suitable level of performance for spacecrafts. Solid-state technology offers mechanical robustness, with low power consumption, mass and size, which ar…

Robust pipeline tracking is critical for AUV technology to succeed in the commercial sector. To address this topic an internal project was started to enhance the existing AUV AVALON to be capable of tracking and following pipelines in shallow water. This talk will give a brief overview of this proje…

Maritime Logistik - Schiff und Terminal

from: Prof. Jens Froese  (Jacobs University Bremen)
Die Schifffahrt gilt technologisch als nicht progressiv und der Tradition verpflichtet. Der Vortrag bietet einen Streifzug durch die Welt des Seetransports an Bord, und an Land. Eine Kurzvorstellung der Kernprozesse soll die Möglichkeit zur Diskussion über vorhandene Automatisierungspotenziale eröff…
