Autonomous robotic systems are increasingly becoming a major component of modern society. In order to gain a better understanding of the capabilities of these autonomous systems, experimentation was conducted using a miniature robotic sailboat. GPS based trajectory control was implemented on this system to test the ability of the sailboat to travel to desired locations when placed in different starting positions. Ultimately, the sailboat was able to travel the desired 30 feet in the shortest amount of time when it began with its angle heading projected towards the desired location without any obstacles to avoid. by Jackson O.
