Abstract

OCR 21/05/2024 This invention relates to an unmanned ship, consisting of a ship equipped with a set of working devices, a motor for propelling the ship, a navigation set consisting of a GPS device, a compass, and a device used to measure the speed and acceleration of the ship. The navigation set functions to identify the position, direction of the ship's bow, and the tilt of the ship, and sends data indicating the position, direction of the ship's bow, and the tilt of the ship. The data is then sent to the first control unit, and the first control unit consists of a microcontroller that receives data indicating the position, direction of the ship's bow, and the tilt of the ship obtained from the navigation set, processes the data, and controls the operation of the motor, which has the characteristic that at least one motor is installed on each side of the ship to propel the ship, where each motor is controlled by the first control unit to have different speeds and/or drive in opposite directions so that the ship can change its direction of movement.

Claims (4)

1. OCR 21/05/2024 1. An unmanned vessel, consisting of a hull (10) equipped with a set of selectable working equipment, including depth sounding equipment, underwater object detection equipment, surveying equipment, and water quality measuring equipment, one or more of which are combined. The working equipment is mounted on the outside hull (15) of the hull (10). A motor (20) for propelling the hull (10), wherein the motor is mounted on the side (14) of the hull (10). A navigation unit (30) consists of a global positioning system (GPS), a compass, and a device for measuring the speed and acceleration of the hull (10). The navigation unit is mounted at the front (11) or middle (12) of the hull (10). The navigation unit (30) determines the position, heading, and tilt of the hull, and sends such position, heading, and tilt data to a first control unit. The first control unit (40) consists of a microcontroller that receives data specifying the position and heading of the hull. and the inclination of the ship's hull obtained from the navigation set (30), then taking such information to process and control the operation of the motor (20), which has the specific characteristic that at the side (14) of the ship (10) there is a motor (20) installed for driving the ship (10), at least 1 on each side, where each motor (20) is controlled from the first control set (40) to have different speeds and/or drive in opposite directions so that the ship (10) can change the direction of movement without needing a radius to change the direction of movement. 2. The unmanned vessel of claim 1 further comprising a second control unit, which is a remote control unit not mounted on the vessel, that operates by receiving commands from the user to be given remotely or from outside the vessel to a first control unit (40) that then directs the vessel (10) to proceed as directed by the user. 3. The unmanned boat according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the motor (20) used is an electric propulsion motor. 4. The driverless boat according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the boat (10) can be any of the following: a kayak, a twin-hulled boat, a floating boat, and an aluminum boat.
