The present invention relates to a floating omnidirectional maneuverable platform, method and application for surface clusters, belonging to the field of cluster intelligence technology; it includes a floating shell, a
perception and decision module, a drive execution module and a power supply module. Through the cooperation of each module and in combination with a power
distribution method, an omnidirectional maneuverable platform that can be used to verify the self-organizing motion
algorithm of clusters in
open water environments is obtained. The present invention integrates
perception, decision-making and execution into one, and through the
combined use of a 360° angle controllable
servo and a
camera module, it has the ability to actively perceive environmental information at 360°; the
perception and
decision circuit board has a built-in cluster self-organizing
motion control algorithm, and the drive execution circuit board has a built-in thrust distribution
algorithm. Combined with three
propeller thrusters distributed at 120° intervals, it has the ability to move omnidirectionally on the water surface. It has the advantages of stable operation, strong flexibility and easy development, good
engineering application value, and helps to improve the portability of cluster algorithms to
machine clusters.
