Abstract

The goal of this project is to implement an algorithm to maintain the stability of the Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) during rough sea condition. The system consists of several sensor which acts as feedback to the propeller. The system runs on Proportional integral controller, and also consist of a Graphic interface to provide an interactive environment between the user and the system, enabling the user to track the path of the boat, GPS (global positioning system) location and to display real time data obtained from the sensors, path, speed of the boat and the battery life of the system.

Keywords

Proportional integral controller, propeller, sensors, unmanned surface vehicle.
