Unmanned Surface Vehicle(USV)

This project worked with an unmanned water vehicle to complete a task. I became the head of this project to manage or to organize the team working as the desired. It participated in Unmanned Surface Vehicle(USV) Contest 2016. We built catamaran and monohull boats using balsa wood. The USVs navigate autonomously using a feedback information from a camera. It used a basic concept of computer vision to detect the color and calculate theta of colored balls. There are color-coded balls arranged on the edges of the path. These balls serve as boundary markers for autonomous navigation using cameras. By using the visual servoing, the robot can navigate to stay on the track.
