Software Repository for the VantTec Unmanned Surface Vehicle platforms.

VantTec USV Main Repository

This is the main working repository for the USV (Unmanned Surface Vehicle) VantTec Platforms. Each directory represents a ROS Package:

• arduino_br: ROS package that uses rosserial_python and rosserial_arduino to interface with the T-100 and the T-200 thrusters.
• rb_missions: ROS package where the algorithms to solve the different RoboBoat challenges are implemented.
• usv_comms: ROS package that allows the USV software to interface with the Digi X-Tend Hardware for communication with the main station.
• usv_control: ROS package for the implementation of the control algorithms for the USV.
• usv_master: ROS package containing the master node for the USV ROS software.
• usv_perception: ROS package for the perception algorithms used in the USV.
• vectornav_ros: ROS package that allows the USV to interface with Vectornav's IMUs.
• velodyne: ROS package for the Velodyne LIDARs.
• zed_ros_wrapper: ROS package for the Stereolabs ZED Camera.
