| Description |
This thesis elucidates the essential parameters for the design of an autonomous surface vehicle swarm mothership and considerations for docking the two vehicles together autonomously. A theoretical analysis is presented for extending the energy capacity of the vehicles through mothership recharging, resulting in mothership design specifications. A computational analysis of mother-daughter relative motions in waves follows, validating the hullform suitability for docking. Finally, a prototype developed by the author using the proposed methodology is detailed and experimental results are presented which highlight important considerations contributing to the success of autonomous mothership docking. Subjects: Autonomous Surface Vehicle, Mothership, Swarm, Autonomous Docking |
