  3. Objective • Improve current ASV for the Summer 2012 Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International annual RoboBoat Competition

  4. RoboBoat Competition • Primary Tasks • Speed Test • Locate and complete a straight course as fast as possible • Navigation Test • Navigate a course of buoys with several turns and obstacles • Secondary Tasks • Changed from last year

  5. Solution Approach • Determine/purchase sensors that provide competitive performance • Formulate a navigation logic • Integrate all sensors • Test and evaluate sensors and navigation logic • Install electronics on boat

  6. Project Components • LiDAR • Sensor gimbal mount and code • Navigation logic • New onboard computer • Electronics case • Arduino/Ardupilot integration

  7. LiDAR • Sensor testing • Full sunlight • Sensor/Computer Communication

  8. LiDAR • Data Interpretation

  9. Sensor Gimbal Mount • Switched to single axis • Coded using Arduino and accelerometer

  10. Navigation Logic • Defined scenarios based on: • Distance to buoys • Color of buoys • Approach angle • LiDAR as primary sensor • Computer Vision as secondary sensor

  11. Navigation Code • Written in C++ • 80% Complete • IF/ELSE loops • Compiled with MS Visual Studio

  12. New Onboard Computer

  13. Electronics case • Improve watertight integrity • Air flow • Component placement
