Design and Implement of the Control System based on android accelerometer smartphone for Unmanned Surface Vehicle

Abstract

Unmanned surface vehicles (USV) are unmanned ships that are operated on the surface and used for various special requirements. USV can be used in waters that cannot be traversed by large vessels, usually, USV can be used in military fields that have a high threat level and in environments contaminated with nuclear or contaminated with chemicals. Roboboat is a type of USV, as well as USV such as the usual USV roboboat that can be used to monitor waters. we purpose to modify the RC using an Android smartphone device that allows Roboboat to move independently by using a navigation system using an accelerometer found on Android and making semi-autonomous USV prototypes made of raw materials that are easily accessible and have relatively low costs. The floating vehicle produced, has good buoyancy and is more stable if loaded with the load; load carrying capacity is around 1.5 kg; navigation using an Android smartphone works with a maximum distance of 10 meters.
