  1. 1. OMNIDIRECTIONAL OBJECT DETECTION AND TRACKING, FOR AN AUTONOMOUS SAILBOAT

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

    Author : Edvin Asmussen; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : MDU, in collaboration with several other universities, plans to join the World Robotic Sailing Championship (WRSC), where in certain sub-challenges some object detection is necessary. Such as for detecting objects such as boats, buoys, and possibly other items. READ MORE

  3. 2. RoBuoy : Dynamic Positioning of an Autonomous Buoy using GNSS

    University essay from KTH/Mekatronik

    Author : Erik Anderberg; Martin Olanders; [2021]
    Keywords : Autonomous; Buoy; GPS; GNSS; Robot; Mechatronics; Dynamic positioning; Autonom; Boj; GPS; GNSS; Robot; Mekatronik; Dynamisk positionering;

    Abstract : Buoys anchored to the seabed are often used for marking courses in competitive sailing and other water sports, but they may need to be relocated several times per day. To avoid the time and fuel consuming labour of raising and moving the anchors, a prototype of an autonomous buoy using electric motors to maintain its position was built and tested. READ MORE

  4. 3. Further development and performance evaluation of the autonomous sailing boat Maribot Vane

    University essay from KTH/Marina system

    Author : Ulysse Dhomé; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This paper describes the ongoing development of Maribot Vane, an autonomous sailing vessel at the Maritime Robotics Laboratory of KTH, the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm. There is an ac-celerating need for ocean sensing where autonomous vehicles can play a key role in assisting scientists with environmental monitoring and collecting oceanographic data. READ MORE

  5. 4. Modeling, Control and Optimal Trajectory Determination for an Autonomous Sailboat

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

    Author : Carl Strömbeck; [2017]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A fleet of autonomous sailboat could change our perception of the planet. An autonomous sailboat could not only conduct environmental research but also perform month long operations through the energy efficient wind propulsion. This thesis is the work behind the development of an autonomous catamaran model sailboat. READ MORE

  6. 5. Design of a free-rotating wing sail for an autonomous sailboat

    University essay from KTH/Marina system

    Author : Claes Tretow; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : There is an accelerating need for ocean sensing where autonomous vehicles can play a key role in assisting engineers, researcher and scientists with environmental monitoring and colleting oceanographic data. This thesis is performed in collaboration with a research group at The Royal Institute of Technology that currently develops an autonomous sailboat to be used as a sensor carrying platform for autonomous data acquisition in the Baltic Sea.
