An autonomous sailboat robot is a boat that only uses the wind on
its sail as the propelling force, without remote control or human
assistance to achieve its mission. Robotic sailing offers the
potential of long range and long term autonomous wind propelled,
solar or wave-powered carbon neutral devices. Robotic sailing
devices could contribute to monitoring of environmental,
ecological, meteorological, hydrographic and oceanographic data.
These devices can also be used in traffic monitoring, border
surveillance, security, assistance and rescue. The dependency on
changing winds and sea conditions presents a considerable challenge
for short and long term route and stability planning, collision
avoidance and boat control. Building a robust and seaworthy sailing
robot presents a truly complex and multi-disciplinary challenge for
boat designers, naval architects, systems/electrical engineers and
computer scientists. Over the last decade, several events such as
Sailbot, World Robotic Sailing Championship and the International
Robotic Sailing Conference (WRSC/IRSC) and Microtransat have
sparked an explosion in the number of groups working on autonomous
sailing robots. Many of the challenges in building truly autonomous
sailing robots still remain unsolved. These proceedings present the
work of researchers on current and future challenges in autonomous
sailboat development, presented at the WRSC/IRSC 2014 in Galway,
Ireland, 8th - 12th September 2014.
