Guidance, navigation and control (abbreviated GNC, GN&C, or G&C) is a branch of engineering dealing with the design of systems to control the movement of vehicles, especially, automobiles, ships, aircraft, and spacecraft. In many cases these functions can be performed by trained humans.
Guidance has a displacement of approximately 7,400 tons, and is 107 metres (351 ft 1 in) long and 22 metres (72 ft 2 in) wide. [4] She has a large cargo deck and a crane. The ship's bridge, helipad and crew accommodation is located in her large forward superstructure.
The output of the navigation system, the navigation solution, is an input for the guidance system, among others like the environmental conditions (wind, water, temperature, etc.) and the vehicle's characteristics (i.e. mass, control system availability, control systems correlation to vector change, etc.).

The vision system provides the exact location coordinates of the components to the robot, which are spread out randomly beneath the camera's field of view, enabling the robot arm(s) to position the attached end effector (gripper) to the selected component and pick from the conveyor belt. The conveyor may stop under the camera to allow the ...
