| Summary: | The paper is about development and fieldwork trial
of Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs) for bathymetry. Due to
the increasing demand on water monitoring and ocean
exploration, ASVs are being developed to assist humans to
reduce the time and resources required while increasing the
efficiency of the tasks. Each developed ASV is equipped with
Global Positioning System (GPS) and multi-sensor that can
measure depth, speed, and temperature of the water. The ASVs
can be either manually controlled through remote controls (RCs)
or automatically controlled through mobile phone that has
waypoint navigation software. The data collected by individual
ASV are wirelessly transmitted to and can be viewed in real-time
at the ground station. The data collected then can be analyzed
and used for depth and temperature simulation of the water at
specific locations. The ASVs were deployed at several lakes and
seas to evaluate their performance in terms of data collection and
navigation under different environmental conditions. |
