The goal of this project was to further develop WPI’s current Sailbot, an autonomous robotic sailboat created to compete in the Sailbot International Robotic Sailing Regatta. In preparation for this competition, we further developed the mechanical, electrical, and software components of the robot to improve navigation, function, and design.
