Day 19 Advent Calendar Autonomus Surface Vessels
š
Welcome to Day 19 of the MATLAB Advent Calendar! š
As we approach Christmas, Iām excited to showcase another
innovative application of MATLAB and SimulinkāAutonomous Surface Vessels
(ASVs). These vessels are revolutionizing industries such as maritime
transport, environmental monitoring, and offshore operations. Today, letās
explore how MATLAB and Simulink empower engineers to design, simulate, and test
these sophisticated systems.
ASVs face unique challenges, from
navigating through high-traffic areas to integrating multiple functional
components seamlessly. To address these, MathWorks offers a robust platform for
developing a digital twināan integrated environment combining the ASV model,
autonomy systems, and operational scenarios. This digital twin enables
efficient testing and validation long before deployment. š
Key components include the vessel platform
with sensors like cameras, LiDAR, IMU, and GPS, as well as propulsion systems
modeled using Simulink and Simscape. These tools allow engineers to simulate
dynamics such as hydrodynamics, cross-flows, and payload effects with high
fidelity. š
š
Guidance, navigation, and control are further supported by features like sensor
fusion algorithms, automated parameter tuning, and behavior planning using
Stateflow. These capabilities ensure the ASV can navigate safely while adhering
to maritime rules, such as COLREGs.
But thatās not all. The Cuboid simulation
environment and integration with platforms like Unity and Unreal Engine offer
rich, interactive scenarios for testing collision avoidance, risk assessment,
and situational awareness. From simulating urban waterways to detecting objects
using deep learning, these tools streamline the development of ASVs, ensuring
they operate safely and efficiently in complex environments. š
š Why is
this topic important? Autonomous Surface Vessels are transforming maritime
industries by increasing safety, reducing human risk, and improving operational
efficiency. Theyāre a vital step toward sustainable and intelligent ocean
operations.
š
Explore more about ASV design and simulation on MATLAB Central, including
contributions like Professor Thor Fossenās Marine System Simulator. For deeper
insights, donāt miss our upcoming ASV webinar on June 30th! š

MATLAB and Simulink this holiday season. Happy holidays! āļø
