Design files and LabVIEW VIs for the Arctic Research Center Autonomous Boat (ARCAB)

These design files can be used to recreate an affordable and portable autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) that can safely obtain bathymetry and ocean current measurements in dangerous environments. The Arctic Research Centre Autonomous Boat (ARCAB) is a student-built ASV that can be transported on a euro-pallet and operated from a small boat and from shore. ARCAB has a minimum battery life of 2 hours and accommodates a SonTek M9 RiverSurveyor system for bathymetry and ocean current measurements. ARCAB is controlled by a National Instruments myRIO-1900 and features autonomous waypoint navigation, obstacle avoidance, and return-to-home functionality.

本设计文件可用于重构一款经济实惠且便携的自航水面艇（ASV），该艇能够在恶劣环境中安全获取水深和洋流测量数据。北极研究中心自航船（ARCAB）是由学生建造的ASV，可放置于欧标托盘上，并可在小型船只及岸上操作。ARCAB具备至少2小时的电池续航能力，并配备SonTek M9 RiverSurveyor系统，用于水深和洋流测量。ARCAB由National Instruments的myRIO-1900控制器控制，具备自主航点导航、避障和自动返航等功能。
