Abstract(s)
The design and implementation of the ROAZ and
ROAZ II autonomous surface vehicles (ASV) is presented. These
systems were developed at Autonomous Systems Lab, ISEP/IPP –
Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto under a research
program in marine robotics. With multiple applications either in
river and estuarine environments or in the sea, the system
applications in search and rescue operations are addressed and
were taken in consideration for the overall system design.
Mechanical design issues are discussed. Hardware, software
and implementation status are described along with the control
and navigation system architecture. The real time vision
processing system is described and results are presented in
operational scenario.
