The problem of ensuring the safe and efficient cranes operations in automated manufacturing processes involves the automation of the operating workspace identification, non-collision and time-optimal path planning, and real-time following a payload along the determined path by crane motion mechanisms with expected precision. The paper describes the stereo vision based system used for identification of workspace of the laboratory scaled overhead travelling crane. The time-optimal trajectory of a payload is determined by using the A-star graph searching algorithm, and next real-time trucking by PLC-based crane control system.

While collisions and groundings still represent the most important source of accidents involving ships, autonomous vessels are a central topic in current research. When dealing with autonomous ships, collision avoidance and compliance with COLREG regulations are major vital points. However, most state-of-the-art literature focuses on offline path optimisation while neglecting many crucial aspects of dealing with real-time applications on vessels. In the framework of the proposed motion-planning, navigation and control architecture, this paper mainly focused on optimal path planning for marine vessels in the perspective of real-time applications. An RRT*-based optimal path-planning algorithm was proposed, and collision avoidance, compliance with COLREG regulations, path feasibility and optimality were discussed in detail. The proposed approach was then implemented and integrated with a guidance and control system. Tests on a high-fidelity simulation platform were carried out to assess the potential benefits brought to autonomous navigation. The tests featured real-time simulation, restricted and open-water navigation and dynamic scenarios with both moving and fixed obstacles.
