Ship Intelligence Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A naval architecture and ocean engineering lab that conducts advanced research on autonomous ship operation and safety.

AboutAbout the lab
Advanced research on ship automation and safety
The Ship Intelligence Lab conducts advanced research and development on ships.
To avoid accidents when berthing in wind and waves, the lab works on automatic berthing using neural networks.
To prevent accidents in which ships capsize or heel heavily, the lab studies ship stability using modern methods such as dynamical systems theory.
The lab belongs to the Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering group of the Division of Global Architecture, Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka University.
Key terms
- Berthing
- The operation of bringing a ship alongside a pier or quay. It is said to require a high level of skill because of the effects of wind and waves.
- Ship stability
- The ability of a ship that has been heeled over by waves or other forces to return to its original upright position. It is closely tied to preventing capsizing accidents.
- Underwater radiated noise
- Noise that travels from a ship into the water. Its effects on marine life are being studied.
- Digital twin
- A technology that replicates real ships or other objects on a computer for use in simulation.
ResearchResearch themes
The Ship Intelligence Lab conducts advanced research and development on ships. Its main technical areas are the development of automatic ship control and maneuvering systems and of simulators using digital twins, the effects of underwater radiated noise from ships on marine ecosystems, and the estimation of ship stability in extreme sea conditions and the development of roll reduction control technology.
