Abstract:In response to the inefficiencies and high costs associated with manual buoy inspection, this paper presents the design and testing of an Autonomous Navigation Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) tailored for this purpose. The research is structured into three main components: Firstly, the hardware framework and communication system of the USV are detailed, incorporating the Robot Operating System (ROS) and additional nodes to meet practical requirements. Furthermore, a buoy tracking system utilizing the Kernelized… Show more
