MARINE VEHICLES WEB-WIFI PLATFORM FOR REMOTE EXPERIMENTATION PROGRAMMED IN LABVIEW

Abstract This paper describes the development of a platform for performng tests on marine vehicles for cooperative actions, valid both for industrial application and for training in identification and control, using a physical in-scale model of an autonomous high-speed vessel. The model has an Industrial PC which acts as a web server and communicates through a wireless connection with a portable PC located on land. A software support in LabVIEW has been implemented in the Industrial PC which is capable of capturing and storing data. It is posible from a distance, via the web, to view data and modify the parameters of all of the instruments of the platform using the wireless network with wifi technology. This software is suitable for performing the Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) of the physical model since it permits the modification of commands.
