This work proposes the exploitation and results of Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) for the bathymetric sampling application. In particular the paper reports the high-resolution data set collected during a first sampling campaign carried out in the Loano area (sited in Liguria region, Italy). The sampling campaign covered the Loano beach area which is characterized by a very shallow water area, thus...
This paper discusses the requirements, design, construction and development of the ALuminum Autonomous Navigator for Intelligent Sampling (ALANIS), an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) developed by the Autonomous robotic systems and control group of CNR-ISSIA Genova basically for coastal monitoring. The onboard automation system of the rubber boat shaped aluminum vessel manages the steering and throttle...
Determining a model of marine vehicles for the control purposes can be a very time-consuming process. Much faster identification method has been proposed based on the use of self-oscillation identification method. In this article we demonstrate the use of the proposed method for heading controller tuning of the autonomous unmanned surface vehicle (USV) Charlie. The Charlie USV is a small catamaran-like...
This paper discusses the theoretical model of an autonomous surface craft (ASC) with respect to the performance of basic sensors usually available onboard small and relatively low- cost vessels. The aim is to define a practical model and the corresponding identification procedure for simulation, guidance, and control of this class of vehicles. The work is supported by the extended at-sea trials carried...
