Description
Summary:Autonomous surface crafts (ASC) are widely used for scientific research in marine environments. In many situations, these ASCs are equipped with underwater sensors that aid both autonomous navigation and mapping tasks. The first Autonomous Surface Craft (ASC) was developed since 1993 by researchers in MIT Sea Grant College Program. As researcher continuously exploring for new technology, a low cost Autonomous surface craft (ASC) named SCOUT was produce by Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA during the summer of 2004.SCOUT is a Marine Robotics that is use for experiments at NTU and Gemini 720i Multi-Beam Sonar is one such sensor that is recently purchased for underwater sensing.
