We are only a 2 months into 2022 but it has been a while since we posted an update. So far 2022 has been a productive and busy time and have already published three new papers:

  1. Martin I. A., Irani R. A. (2022) Self-Tuning Anti-Sway Control For Shipboard Cranes Providing Combined World and Deck-Frame Compensation, Ocean Engineering — IN PRESS.
  2. Lowell S., McPhee J., Irani R. A. (2022) Plunger-type wavemakers with flow: sensitivity analysis and experimental validation, Applied Ocean Research. Volume 121, 103065.
  3. McKenzie R. A., Irani R. A. (2022). Motion Compensation for Maritime Cranes During Time-Varying Operations at the Pendulum’s Natural Frequency. Mechanism and Machine Theory. Volume 168, 104573.

You can have a look at our other recent publications too as 2021 was a productive year.

In January we welcomed Eric Giroux onboard who is our newest MASc Student. He will be working to help develop the hardware and software systems of our Uninhabited Autonomous Vehicle (UAV) platform. The work will build upon our novel landing algorithms for maritime applications and transition the work from simulation to hardware implementation.
