System for autonomous steering of floating units

Abstract

The present invention relates to a system for autonomous control of floating units (100), which uses centralized software (300), a sensor system (400), predefined routes (200) and a mobile and web application (500) to enable automated and safe movement of floating apartments (600). The system is specifically designed for use in confined water areas, such as natural bays, with an emphasis on sustainable development and luxury tourism. The system uses predefined routes (200) adapted to topography, visual attractiveness and safety requirements, with the algorithms of the centralized software (300) ensuring precise positioning and time coordination of movement. The advanced sensor system (400), which includes ultrasonic sensors (402), lidar sensors (404), contact sensors (405) and cameras (406), enables obstacle detection and automatic stopping of the units to protect the user and the environment.The unique "Mode Closed" security protocol (700) ensures that the doors are locked and that users cannot board or disembark while in motion, while magnetic technology and docking hooks ensure precise and stable docking at the micro-location, with automatic connection to electrical charging. The system also uses renewable energy sources, such as solar panels, to power the units, reducing its environmental footprint. The mobile application (501) allows users to track the position of their units, personalize routes and communicate via AI chatbots, while the web application (502) provides management with tools for fleet monitoring, operations optimization and data analysis. The system's industrial applications span a wide range of sectors, including luxury tourism, smart cities, medical and emergency services, sustainable development and the entertainment and recreation industry.Ovaj sustav predstavlja tehnološki napredno i održivo rješenje koje povezuje automatizaciju, sigurnost i inovativni dizajn s globalnim potrebama za prilagodljivim i održivim rješenjima.The present invention relates to a system for autonomous control of floating units (100), which uses centralised software (300), a sensor system (400), predefined routes (200) and a mobile and web application (500) to enable automated and safe movement of floating apartments (600).
