Conference Paper Description

Control of Autonomous Sail Vehicles involves a precise measurement of amplitude and direction of incoming wind. Ultrasound anemometers are widely used for this purpose. In previous research activities authors have successfully developed, calibrated, and integrated in existing autonomous sailboats a planar ultrasound anemometer. In this work authors propose a further development of this device in which a tridimensional array is proposed. Significant innovations, with respect to existing systems, have been introduced to increase its portability on autonomous mobile systems without loosing desirable precision features that are currently granted by more encumbering solutions current employed in static applications.
