Patent

CA 2401237

A mooring robot (100, 200) for releasably fastening a first moveable object (S) to a second nearby object (51) is disclosed. The first moveable object (S) moves in response to the application of external forces to the object (S). The robot (100, 200) operates to restore the first object (S) to a predetermined operating position. With particular reference to the mooring of a vessel (S), the mooring robot (100, 200) has attractive attachment element(s) (1) fixable to a ship's hull and includes a movement unit (10, 210), with active three-degree-of-freedom translation, for controlling the position of the attachment element(s) (1). The movement unit (10, 210) includes a restorative means associated with each of the two degrees of translational freedom in the horizontal plane which provide a restorative force acting to return the attachment element(s) (1) to the predetermined operating position.

L'invention porte sur un robot d'arrimage (100, 200) destiné à fixer de manière libérable un premier objet amovible (S) à un second objet adjacent (51). Le premier objet amovible (S) se déplace sous l'effet de forces extérieures appliquées à l'objet (S). Le robot (100, 200) replace le premier objet (S) dans une position de fonctionnement prédéfinie. Dans le cas de l'arrimage d'un navire (S), le robot (100, 200) possède des éléments de fixation attractifs (1) pouvant se fixer à la coque d'un bateau et comprend une unité de mouvement (10, 210) avec une translation à trois degrés de liberté afin de commander la position des éléments de fixation (1). L'unité de mouvement (10, 210) comprend un moyen de réintégration associé à chacun des deux degrés de liberté de translation dans le plan horizontal qui permet à une force de réintégration de renvoyer les éléments de fixation (1) à leur position de fonctionnement prédéfinie.
