Cool Linux powered robot boat

Posted March 22nd, 2010 by cool

The Roboat is an autonomous robotic sailboat powered by Linux.

It's able to autonomously navigate towards any given target without human control or intervention.

The ASV Roboat is a 3.75m Laerling powered by an 800MHz/512MB mini-ITX computer that runs a Linux OS and a software suite developed using Java and C++.

It's also solar powered, so if your looking for your next clean pleasure vessel... ;-)

The roboat navigates on artificial intelligence. I can't wait for a future where geeks can finally sail without getting physically exhausted.
