Abstract :
The AUVSI Autonomous Surface vehicle event is a student-based competition where teams design, build and compete with fully autonomous surface vessel. These vehicles are required to preform many different tasks that vary from competition to competition but the ability to navigate channels marked by red and green markers and perform GPS based navigation is always a constant. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University has been competing in this competition since is start. This paper discusses the design of the Seagle 3.0 platform.
