AutoSail is a student project where twelve M.Sc.Eng students will develop an autonomous sailing boat with the goal to compete in WRSC 2021.
We are twelve Master of Science in Engineering students from Mälardalens University in Västerås, Sweden. We are working on our final project of our last year at the Robotics, Dependable systems and Embedded systems programs. An autonomous sailing boat will be developed and the goal is to compete in WRSC(World Robotic Sailing Championships) in 2021.
The Robotics program covers robotics applied in different fields with focus on the Sense-Plan-Act methodology. The courses of the program include everything from mechanics and electronics to signal processing and artificial intelligence with many of the courses being practical. The last year the students knowledge which includes building and controlling robots are used in the final project, provided either by a company or by Mälardalen university itself.
