Multi-objective Design Optimization for Manganese Nodule Pilot Miner Considering Collecting Performance and Manoeuver of Vehicle

摘要

A pilot miner, which is designed to collect manganese nodules on therndeep seabed, intends to collect manganese nodules while traveling onrncohesive soft soil. When operating a pilot miner, one needs to maintainrntraffic-ability at low traction speed for manoeuver operation as well asrnoperates the vehicle straight in order to increase collecting efficiency byrnkeeping high traction speed. Thus, if a pilot miner is designed in onernproperty, it will become superfluous design due to conflict ofrnincompatible properties. In this paper, multi-objective designrnoptimization considering both collecting and maneuver operation isrnproposed for optimization of a pilot miner.
