The Future of Maritime Engineering and Logistics: Automated Shipping Cranes

This 16-page document, provided by the Southeast Maritime and Transportation (SMART) Center, is a research paper and project report by Carina Stocker on automated shipping cranes. "The objective of this project was to create a small-scale autonomous gantry crane which could move containers on and off of a docked boat. The components of this project included an Arduino Uno board, a Parallax shield, two Parallax servos, an ultrasonic sensor, a color sensor, various structural pieces, fishing wire, six travel-sized toothpaste boxes, plastic containers, and four neodymium magnets."
