RBOAT-X USV Survey Boat – ROBUST Make

Introduction to Unmanned Surface Vehicle

RBOAT-X Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) is built on a fully modular, plug-and-play architecture.

The vehicle integrates seven line-replaceable modules-hull shell, mission-control core, propulsion unit, collision-avoidance suite, high-precision positioning package, wireless telemetry link, and hot-swappable power pack-into a single, watertight assembly.

The shore-side segment is a single Android-based, long-range telemetry controller that unifies differential corrections uplink, real-time data downlink and remote control.

All onboard and post-mission workflows are handled by tSail, an integrated vessel-control hydrographic-processing application.

Detailed functional descriptions of each hardware unit and software module are provided in the following sections.
