An object of the invention is to provide a floating mobile object control
system capable of causing a floating mobile object to stand still in a
predetermined position with high precision or track a target trajectory
with high precision, even under disturbances caused by waves, tidal
current, etc.A floating mobile object control system of the present
invention capable of achieving the above object is a control system 1 for
a floating mobile object 10, in which the floating mobile object
includes: a main body part B that can be considered as a single rigid
body constituting a part of the floating mobile object; an effector part
E for generating a thrust for the floating mobile object; and a thrust
transfer gate G for dynamically connecting the main body part and the
effector part, the thrust transfer gate being adapted to be able to
actually measure a thrust from the effector part acting on the main body
part, and a measured value for the thrust from the thrust transfer gate G
is used to obtain a thrust command to the effector part E (FIG. 4).
