Huang, Y. (author), Chen, L. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) attract increasing attention in recent years. Researchers aim at developing fully autonomous systems that replace the role of human operators. Studies either focus on supporting conflict/collision detection (for manned ships) or solving conflict automatically (for unmanned ships). The cooperation...journal article 2020

Chen, L. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Huang, Y. (author), Hopman, J.J. (author)This article provides a comprehensive overview on cooperative control methods for waterborne transport. We first proposed a hierarchical architecture of cooperation in the waterborne transport systems. Three layers of cooperation are identified according to the range of communication and cooperation, i.e., the individual layer, the local...journal article 2020

Huang, Y. (author), Chen, L. (author), Chen, P. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)Collision prevention is critical for navigation safety at sea. At early ages, researchers aimed at developing navigational assistance systems for enhancing situational awareness of human operators as human is at the core of collision avoidance. Recently, autonomous vehicles have gained a remarkable amount of attention with a focus on solving...review 2020

Huang, Y. (author)Ship collision is a classical problem for maritime practitioners and researchers. Human error is a major cause of collision accidents, which motivates researchers to develop automation systems replacing navigators on board. However, before autonomous ships fully replace conventional ships, supporting the situational awareness of human operators...doctoral thesis 2019

Huang, Y. (author)In advanced robotic applications such as robotic locomotion, vehicle and flight simulators, and material test devices, there are higher requirements on stiffness, robustness and power ability for the mechanical structure and the actuator. Hence, it is common for such applications to use parallel manipulators and hydraulic actuators, due to their...doctoral thesis 2019

Huang, Y. (author), Chen, L. (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)Numerous methods have been developed for ship collision prevention over the past decades. However, most studies are based on strong assumptions, such as the need for a constant velocity of the target-ship, the limitation to two-ship scenarios, the simplification of ships’ dynamics, etc. Generalized Velocity Obstacle (GVO) algorithm can bridge...journal article 2019

Huang, Y. (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)Collision risk measurement is an essential topic for ship collision prevention. Many risk measures, i.e. DCPA/TCPA, etc., decouple the ship traffic into several pairs of ships and then evaluate the risk in each pair. This kind of measurement loses some information of the entire traffic and might include some biases in risk measurement,...journal article 2019

Huang, Y. (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)We propose an innovative time-varying collision risk (TCR) measurement for ship collision prevention in this article. The proposed measurement considers the level of danger of the approaching ships and the capability of a ship to prevent collisions. We define the TCR as the probability of the overlap of ships’ positions in the future, given...journal article 2019
