Abstract

Given the fact that ocean is vast and its condition is always changing, it is difficult to collect meteorological and oceanographic data. In this paper, a semi-submersible un-manned surface vehicle is introduced to decrease the difficulties. The hardware and software design of the USV, which is a rigid hull with tow screw propellers, is discussed at the beginning. Then, the mathematics model and control algorithm related to path following control of the USV are presented. Finally, several experiments are conducted to verify the feasibility and control performance of the unmanned vehicle.
