This book contains selected papers that address a variety of topics
related to the design, development and operation of unmanned and
fully autonomous sailing boats. These papers were presented in the
9th International Robotic Sailing Conference, in association with
the 9th World Robotic Sailing Championship that took place in Viana
do Castelo, Portugal from the 5th to 10th of September 2016. The
book is divided in three parts, each focusing on key aspects of
robotic sailing. The first part addresses the design, construction
and validation of autonomous sailboat platforms, including their
rigs, appendages and control mechanisms. The second part is devoted
to the development of sensors and algorithms to enhance the
performance of robotic sailing boats, in terms of their speed,
course control and manoeuvring ability. Finally, the papers in the
last part are dedicated to the improvement of behaviours required
for the accomplishment of complex autonomous missions. Robotic
sailing is a relatively new multidisciplinary area of research,
with a recognized great potential for persistent ocean observation.
Using the wind for boat propulsion is something mankind has been
doing for centuries. Automating and optimizing the sailing process
in the harsh marine environment is an ever present challenge which
is now promising to bear fruit.
