International Robotic Sailing Conference}, abstract = {An autonomous sailboat robot is a boat that only uses the wind on its sail as the propelling force, without remote control or human assistance to achieve its mission. Robotic sailing offers the potential of long range and long term autonomous wind propelled, solar or wave-powered carbon neutral devices. Robotic sailing devices could contribute to monitoring of environmental, ecological, meteorological, hydrographic and oceanographic data. These devices can also be used in traffic monitoring, border surveillance, security, assistance and rescue. The dependency on changing winds and sea conditio.}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-10076-0}, recid = {723412}, pages = {1 online resource (xii, 95 pages) :}, }
