Abstract

A control system architecture is designed for an unmanned surface vehicle. The composing and function of the modules of the control system architecture are detailed. A module for the mixing control mode, which alters between manual control and auto control, is implemented based on real-time communication to make the vehicle be steered directly by users with its autonomous capacity retained. Trials on the sea are carried out to validate that this architecture could fulfill the basic functional requirements for travel.
