Digital Twin of 3d Motion Compensated Gangway Use of Unity Game Engine and TwinCAT PLC Control for Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation
2021
Master's thesis in Mechatronics (MAS500) This thesis presents the development, implementation, and testing of a digital twin representing a 3D compensated gangway located on a service operation vessel for wind farms The real-time simulator runs on a separate thread in the Unity game engine and interfaces with a PC-based control system, including the control algorithms. The simulations in Unity achieve a step time of 5 μs, and the communication to the control system has a latency of 10ms.The PLC program in TwinCAT, running real-time on a separate computer, controls the hydraulic actuated gangway simulator with acceptable accuracy in 3m waves. Active damping employing pressure feedback to int…

Implementering av maskinsyn for montering av fasadeplater
2017
Masteroppgave i mekatronikk MAS500 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 The construction industry has seen a surge in efficiency and automation solutions in recent years. MacGregor, in cooperation with the University of Agder want to use crane and lifting technology to streamline construction processes. Facade panels are widely used due to ease of installation and require minimal maintenance. The process associated with installation has an automation potential. This thesis looks at the implementation of machine vision for installation of facade panels. Installation is done using a ABB IRB6600 industrial robot and a vacuum tool. The machine vision is based on OpenCV and C++. The main components of t…

Piston driven yaw mechanism
2014
Masteroppgave i mekatronikk MAS 500 Universitetet i Agder 2014 The current thesis presents a piston driven yaw mechanism for wind turbines. Traditionally the yaw mechanismhas been one of the mayor contributors to down time and repair has been costly. The proposed designaims to improve the reliability of the yaw mechanism by reducing the point loads and by using hydrauliccylinders instead electrical motors to generate torque. In addition the design is modular allowing the mechanismto be disassembled and components to be replaced without the requirement of complicated or costlymachinery. The current thesis presents an analysis of the state of the art and discusses concepts which maysolve some…

Development of Genetic and GPU-Based Brute Force Algorithms for Optimal Sensor Placement
2018
Master's thesis Mechatronics MAS500 - University of Agder 2018 Optimal sensor placement is a complicated task where several parameters have to be considered simultaneously. The problem has been a subject of much research in the last decades, but there does not seem to be a consensus regarding how to solve the problem. With the increasing use of sensors in a variety of applications, e.g. surveillance and motion tracking, optimal placement is desirable due to the possible reduction of the total cost. In this thesis, a method for solving the static 3D Sensor Placement Problem is presented. From a 3D model of the environment, the constraints of the problem can be de ned in the User Interface, i…
