The International Maritime Organization adopted a strategy to reduce the total annual GHG emissions from international shipping by at least 50% by 2050, compared to 2008 levels. The European Union proposed an even farther reaching transformation: the European Commission adopted a set of proposals to make the EU’s transport policies fit for reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels. Therefore, all industrial actions in line and consistent with these strategies are essential. One of such activities may be a gradual transition from the most common independent controls of transport ships’ thrusters, propellers, and rudders to an integrated, power optimized, 3 degrees of freedom joystick control. In this paper, the full mission bridge simulator (FMBS) research on potential energy savings and, consequently, a GHG emission reduction, while steering a RoPax twin-screw ferry equipped with bow thrusters by a joystick control, is presented. The task of navigators engaged in the research was to steer the vessel either via classic engine, rudder, and thruster levers or via a joystick while (1) following the predefined straight track, (2) rotating at the turning area, and (3), finally, crabbing (moving sideways) until stopping at the quay fenders. The conclusions are that energy savings of approximately 10% can be expected for berthing manoeuvres controlled by a joystick, compared to independent actuators’ controls. These conclusions have been drawn from a statistical analysis of the ship’s energy consumption during typical manoeuvring phases of 18 berthing operations performed in FMBS.

In the case of dark/bad light environments cameras cannot shoot images clearly for the operator to complete the task. Also, video information from camera or robot vision is not enough for some typical applications like telesurgery to pick up an object. In this paper a novel controlling approach for humanoid teleoperation using virtual reality is presented, such that the robot can work safely and accurately in such circumstances. In this regard the work has been enhanced by developing the virtual/visual environment using joystick control interface for controlling Humanoid BHR-2 motion to complete a task safely and accurately. Software Maya is chosen for this work, which can perform all the vision-related calculations. Experiments are conducted using joystick control commands where the operator controls BHR-2 walking motion while looking at virtual scene on his computer to confirm the effectiveness of novel control technique.

Joystick Control

This paper presents a novel hands-free human machine interface (HMI) for elderly and disabled people by fusing multi-modality bioinformation abstracted from forehead electromyography (EMG) signals and facial images of a user. The interface allows users to drive an electric-powered wheelchair using face movements such as jaw clenching and eye blinking. An indoor environment is set up for evaluating the application of this interface. Five intact subjects participated in the experiment to drive the intelligent wheelchair following designated routes and avoiding obstacles. Comparisons are made between this new interface and the traditional joystick control in terms of the easiness of control, travel time, wheelchair trajectory, and error command. The experimental results show that the proposed new control method is comparable to the joystick control method and can be used as a hands-free controller for the intelligent wheelchair.

A multi-degree-of-freedom micromotion device was developed using a soft high polymer gel actuator to realize softness in a micromanipulator. This paper describes why an ICPF actuator is suitable and introduces device structure and manufacturing. Experiments showed that this device can provide 2-dimensional dynamic micromanipulation at high speed. Joystick control by an operator demonstrated its applicability to micromanipulation.
