Abstract:
We describe the development of a side thruster system that can maintain the heading direction of autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs). At present, the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, Japan Atomic Energy Agency, and Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology are jointly working on the investigation of radioactivity in mud deposited in estuaries in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. The main objective is unmanned mud collection using the ASV. For mud collection, we developed a side thruster system and implemented it to the ASV. We developed a unified main and side thruster system for one-man operation of the ASV using a joystick. We confirmed the operation of the ASV with the joystick in field tests.
