abstract = {This paper describes the implementation of a low-cost Autonomous Surface
Vehicle (ASV) using a behavior-based software, the MOOS-IvP. The platform used
is a catamaran boat driven by two direct current motors as the propulsion
system. It is embedded with a processing board with an Arduino
microcontroller, a low-cost Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) with
accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers, a GPS receiver and a wireless RF
serial modem. The ASV communicates with a Ground Control Station (GCS) sending
telemetry data and receiving navigation commands for the propulsion motors.
The GCS uses the MOOS-IvP software to implement the autonomous navigation
procedures and the GPS/Compass/IMU sensor fusion algorithm. Simulation and
experimental results in real conditions are presented and discussed. The
experimental and simulation results consist of path following missions in the
presence of virtual obstacles.}}
