Back-EMF detection provides redundant position signals when primary sensors fail, preventing abrupt loss of steering assist.
A control module switches transmission gear ratios based on engine load, speed, and vessel pitch to optimize torque.
A navigation system computes distances from reflection points to binning coverage zone boundaries to provide steering information for seismic vessels.
Segmented longitudinal and lateral controllers coordinate dynamic coupling to eliminate tracking errors in underactuated marine vessels.
Segmented coupling isolates driver from high-torque servo interventions, resolving complexity and injury risks in automatic steering systems.
Buoy Board uses segmented water jets and hydraulic brakes to maintain directional control in heavy surf.
