The project aimed to build a lightweight, stable, and sensor-integrated robotic boat capable of autonomous navigation, obstacle avoidance, and mission-based tasks on water surfaces.


Key Responsibilities

  • Designed the mechanical structure and hull configuration of the autonomous surface vehicle.

  • Developed mounting systems for propulsion, sensors, and embedded computing hardware.

  • Ensured proper weight distribution and buoyancy stability to improve navigation performance.

  • Coordinated with electronics and software teams to integrate navigation sensors, cameras, and control hardware.

  • Led the fabrication, assembly, and mechanical testing of the vehicle.

  • Optimized the system for durability, modularity, and field deployment.


Technologies and Components

  • Custom hull design and structural frame

  • Propulsion motors and rudder control system

  • Embedded control electronics

  • GPS, IMU, and vision sensors

  • Onboard computing for autonomous navigation

Outcome

The developed USV platform served as a testbed for autonomous surface navigation and perception algorithms, enabling the team to develop and test robotic maritime technologies.
