Abstract
A robust mechanical actuation design for an autonomous sailing buoy () is disclosed based on an internal actuation system. The buoy () consists of a simple closed body () taking the form of a ship hull to which are attached two fixed appendages (): one rigid wing () to catch the wind, and a keel (). The design is completely rudderless. Steering is performed using only an internal actuation system. This system includes a moving mass system (), a processing unit (), and a navigation unit (). The navigation unit () consists of a GPS, accelerometers and gyroscopes, and a wind direction and velocity sensor. The processing unit (), using information given by the navigation unit (), automatically controls the moving mass () to hold the buoy () on a desired course.
