Autonomous sailboats are a new type of long-endurance marine robots driven by marine
renewable energy. They convert wind energy into driving force through sails. The …

Autonomous sailboats are promising platforms for long-term marine science missions and
have become a research area of increased interest over the last two decades. To date …

The design, development and deployment of autonomous sustainable ocean platforms for
exploration and monitoring can provide researchers and decision makers with valuable …

Sailing robots can contribute significantly to maritime surface exploration, due to its potential
for long-range and long-duration motions in the environment with abundant wind. However …

Sailing speed performance is a crucial indicator that significantly affects the trafficability,
efficiency, and tracking capability of autonomous sailing monohulls during marine science …

An alternative wing sail section shape was developed as a potential improvement to either a
soft sail or the common NACA00XX section used on some small autonomous sailing craft …

To move upwind, sailing vessels have to cross the wind by tacking. During this manoeuvre
distance made good may be lost and especially smaller vessels may struggle to complete a …

Autonomous sailboat is a new kind of multipurpose low cost operated marine mobile
observation platform which is powered by marine environmental energyand can be …

Featured Application This work describes the design, modeling, and simulation of a free-
rotating wing sail solution for an autonomous environmental land yacht probe. The adopted …

Unmanned sailboats can convert wind energy with sails to provide power for navigation,
which can independently plan routes and collect data without human intervention. They …
