Course details
Kalman Filter: A mathematical method for estimating the state of a system from noisy measurements, widely used in sensor fusion for autonomous boats to improve navigation and control. •
Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU): A device that measures the acceleration, roll, pitch, and yaw of a boat, providing essential data for stabilization and navigation. •
GPS Receiver: A device that uses satellite signals to determine the boat's position, velocity, and time, crucial for navigation and autonomous control. •
Magnetometer: A sensor that measures the magnetic field around the boat, used to determine its orientation and heading, especially in areas with limited visibility. •
Sonar Sensor: A device that uses sound waves to detect objects and obstacles underwater, helping the boat to navigate and avoid collisions. •
Radar Sensor: A device that uses radio waves to detect objects and obstacles, providing a wider range of detection and better performance in adverse weather conditions. •
Lidar Sensor: A device that uses laser light to detect objects and obstacles, providing high-resolution data for navigation and obstacle avoidance. •
Environmental Sensors: Devices that measure water temperature, salinity, and other environmental factors, helping the boat to operate efficiently and safely. •
Gyroscope: A device that measures the boat's angular velocity and orientation, used to stabilize and control the vessel. •
Accelerometer: A device that measures the boat's acceleration and vibration, helping to detect and respond to changes in the water environment.
