Offshore, Unmanned Auto-Leveling Sea-Surface Drifting Platform with Compact Size
This paper proposes an offshore, unmanned auto-leveling sea-surface drifting platform, with a compact size of 0.7 m in diameter, used for obtaining air-sea interface environmental parameters. The platform was designed based on the parallel mechanism with limited degrees of freedom. The mechanical st...

| description | This paper proposes an offshore, unmanned auto-leveling sea-surface drifting platform, with a compact size of 0.7 m in diameter, used for obtaining air-sea interface environmental parameters. The platform was designed based on the parallel mechanism with limited degrees of freedom. The mechanical structure, control system hardware, and software of the principal prototype are introduced. A ground-based device was developed to simulate wave disturbance, based on which the static and dynamic simulation experiments were carried out. Experimental results show that the auto-leveling system can achieve real-time leveling against the angle deviation induced by waves, with a leveling accuracy of 0.2° in a simulated wave with an angle of 12°, which meets the requirements of observation equipment. |
