The umbilical cable is an important component of the deep-sea mining system, serving as the sole connection between the surface support vessel and the seabed mining system. The harsh marine environment poses significant challenges to umbilical cable safety. Methods based on traditional time-domain simulation are time-consuming and it is hard for them to meet the needs of real-time prediction. In this paper, a novel forecasting...

Prediction of the spatial configuration of the umbilical cable during deep-sea mining in-situ tests is of great significance because dynamic change may cause the umbilical cable to touch the ground or overturn the mining vehicle. In the present paper, a real-time prediction method for the dynamic spatial configuration of the umbilical cable during the deep-sea mining process is proposed. At first, the environmental information...
