“…Research and development on USVs focus not only on typical lightweight applications, like ocean research [6] or wetland monitoring tasks [7][8][9], but also on human transportation [10]. Aquatic vehicles compete with other unmanned vehicles in dangerous applications such as disaster scenes and surveillance tasks at borders, sensitive areas, and ports [11][12][13]. A review of USVs up to 2016 was written by Liu et al [14], in which the main USV developments are shown.…”

“…According to this table, only one USV (named MIMIR) was dedicated to shallow water research. This indicates that although further research involving USVs in shallow waters has been performed since then, for example, by Kang et al [13], few USVs have been designed for operation in shallow water. In this context, this paper is dedicated to improving the design of a USV intended to be operated in shallow water.…”

This article presents the design and manufacturing of a hydrogen-powered unmanned aquatic surface vehicle (USV) hull. The design process comprised three stages: (1) defining the requirements for a preliminary geometry, (2) verifying the hydrodynamic hull performance using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, and (3) experimentally validating the hydrodynamic hull performance and CFD analysis results through experimental fluid dynamics in a calm water towing tank. The manufacturing process utilized additive manufacturing technologies, such as fused granular fabrication and selective laser sintering, to produce the hull and other components, including the propeller and the rudder; thermoplastic materials with carbon fiber reinforcement were employed. The experimental results demonstrate that the optimized trimaran hull exhibited low hydrodynamic resistance (7.5 N), high stability, and a smooth flow around the hull (up to 2 m/s). The design and manufacturing of the USV hull met expectations from both hydrodynamic and structural perspectives, and future work was outlined to integrate a power plant, navigation system, and scientific equipment.

“…Thus, it is of great significance to conduct maritime search and rescue operations for saving human life within stringent time. The maritime search is the premise of maritime rescue [3][4][5]. Compared with an individual maritime search operation [3,4], the cooperative maritime search can save the search time efficiently.…”

“…Compared with the point-to-point search method, the coverage search method is more suitable to the scenario in which the information about positions of maritime accidents is uncertain. Moreover, compared with the individual maritime search operation [3,4], the cooperative maritime search, which is conducted by multiple ships, is more efficient. To sum up, the autonomous control of cooperative maritime search based on coverage search method is studied herein.…”

In this paper, an improved robust line-of-sight (RLOS) guidance-based fuzzy sliding mode controller is presented to control underactuated ships to conduct the cooperative maritime search operation under the presented improved creeping line search method. First, considering that the ship cannot perform turning with corners, an improved creeping line search method is presented by integrating the Bezier method into the traditional creeping line search method to smooth the transition points with corners and employing the cubic spline interpolation method to generate continuous reference paths. Second, an improved RLOS guidance method is presented for the first time by exploring the idea of robust adaptive control to mitigate the chattering effect of the RLOS guidance. Third, the fuzzy logic system with approximate ability is integrated into the design of sliding mode controller to handle unknown nonlinear model dynamics and environmental disturbances. Finally, an improved RLOS guidance-based fuzzy sliding mode controller is presented. The closed-loop stability is guaranteed by the Lyapunov theorem. Comparative simulations are conducted to illustrate the advantages and verify the effectiveness of the presented method.
