Modeling and Experimental Testing of an Unmanned Surface Vehicle with Rudderless Double Thrusters

Motion control of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) is a crucial issue in sailing performance and navigation costs. The actuators of USVs currently available are mostly a combination of thrusters and rudders. The modeling for USVs with rudderless double thrusters is rarely studied. In this paper, the...
