Introduction

Boating can be a lot of fun, but it also requires skill and experience to navigate safely. One of the biggest challenges for boaters is staying on course, especially when wind and waves are strong. This projects aims to solve that problem by developing a system that uses sensors to automatically correct the boat's posture and keep it on course.

Key Features

• Realistic Simulation: The simulator uses realistic physics and environmental models to simulate the behavior of a boat in different weather conditions, such as waves, wind, and current.

• Customizable Parameters: The simulator allows users to adjust various parameters, such as boat type, size, weight, propulsion system, and sensor configuration, to simulate different boats and scenarios.

• Visualization and Analysis: The simulator provides real-time visualization of the boat's posture, heading, and other important parameters, allowing users to analyze the system's performance and identify areas for improvement.

Results

We created an Automatic Boat Posture Correction table top Prototype which allows users to simulate the behavior of an automatic boat posture correction system in different weather conditions and navigation scenarios. This simulator can be used for testing and validating the performance of the system before deploying it in a real-world environment.

Future Development

While the current version of the automatic boat posture correction system offers many benefits, there is always room for improvement and expansion. Here are some ideas for future development:

• Neural network: By using neural network algorithms, the system could learn from past experiences and improve its performance over time.
• Remote Control: By adding remote control capabilities, it would be possible to control the system from a remote location, such as a control center or a mobile device.
