H-infinity for autonomous surface vehicle position estimation

Abstract

Indonesia is a country with a very prominent marine charm, and it is the largest archipelago in the world, covering about 50% of the coral triangle area, providing marine tourist resorts. Therefore tourism development is quite promising. For that purpose, simple boats are of necessity for tourists to enjoy the beauty of such marine tourism. One solution to support such marine tourism sector is the availability of Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV). This vehicle will be the interest of this paper.This study used Touristant ASV with dimensions of 1.5 m in diameter, 4 meters in length and 1.3 meters in height. The purpose of this paper is to conduct a study with a focus on the estimation of ASV position with ASV motion influenced by wind speed and wave height by applying the H-infinity method. The position error generated from the simulation shows that the position error has an accuracy of about 96%.
