Description

ROBOTIC BOAT FOR ACOUSTIC AND VIDEO CONTROL

Field of technique

The invention relates to a robotic boat for acoustic and video control, designed to continuously detect, locate, track and classify passing aircraft and watercraft. The application is for the protection of water borders, reservoirs and other objects with adjacent water basins, as well as for assisting rescue operations.

Prior art

Acoustic control systems based on sonar mounted on a robotic boat are known [1, 2].

A disadvantage of the known acoustic control systems are the lack of aerial sound receivers, which does not help in the subsequent detection, tracking and classification of drones, as well as the lack of nano-drones for video surveillance of the guarded territory.

Task of the invention

The task of the invention is to create a robotic boat for acoustic and video control, which is devoid of the mentioned disadvantages.

Technical essence of the invention

According to the invention, the task was solved by creating a robotic boat for acoustic and video control, consisting of a vessel (boat), sonar modules, acoustic receivers, microphones), solar batteries, a platform for landing and charging nano-drones, nano-drones , control unit and base station.

Advantages of the invention

The advantages of the invention are that thanks to the installation of acoustic receivers on board a robotic vessel equipped with sonar, not only the water volume under the boat, but also the air volume above the boat is monitored. By using nano-drones, the water surface and the adjacent land are also protected.

Description of attached figures

An exemplary embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying figures, where:

Fig. 1 schematically presents the configuration of a system for acoustic and video control from aboard a robotic boat.

Fig. 2 is a general block diagram of the command-communication part.

Example of implementation of the invention

According to fig. 1, a robotic boat for acoustic and video control consists of a vessel (boat) 1, inside which sonar modules 2'...2 ^IV , acoustic receivers 3'...3 ^IV , solar batteries 4.. .4, platform for landing and charging nano-drones 5, command communication unit 7 and base station 8. Nano-drones b...6 ^p are landed and charged on platform 5, and always one of them (in case 6) is in flight over boat 1, performing video surveillance and establishing radio contact between boat 1 and base station 8.

According to fig. 2, the sonar modules 2'...2 ^IV and the microphone acoustic receivers Ж ¹ ... 3 ^IV are bidirectionally connected to the command-communication unit 7 through a cable connection, the latter being in two-way radio communication with the currently flying nano-drone b' , which is in turn in two-way radio communication with the base station 8, which is also in two-way radio communication with the command communication unit 7

Action of the invention

The acoustic and video control robotic boat works as follows.

The robotic boat (1) sails in the area of the monitored territory and through the sonar modules (2) tracks for passing vessels and other objects in the protected water volume, and through the acoustic receivers (3) tracks for passing drones in the monitored air volume. The boat (1) charges its batteries and those of the nano-drones (6) perched on it by the electricity generated by the solar batteries (4) mounted on board. The currently flying nano-drone (in this case 6 ¹ ) performs a video monitoring the observed water surface for passing vessels and others of interest and at the same time establishing two-way radio communication with both the robotic boat (1) and the base station (8).
