Design of the unmanned surface vehicle simulation system using unity 3D software

Abstract

In recent years, technology to build intelligent maritime management systems has been a new trend in maritime countries worldwide. Therefore, intelligent, self-propelled vehicles are increasingly being developed and applied. Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) is used to survey and inspect seaport areas, rivers and channels. Building maritime simulation systems helps save costs and is safe during testing. This article presents the steps to create a USV simulation system in Unity 3D software. Next, build a USV controller based on the PID algorithm to control the direction of the device. Simulation results help evaluate technical parameters and test other control algorithms for USVs in the future.
