Abstract
OUXT-Polaris has been developing an autonomous navigation system by participating in the Maritime RobotX Challenge 2014, 2016, and 2018. In this paper, we describe the improvement of the previous vessel system. We also indicate the advantage of the improved design. Moreover, we describe the developing method under Covid-19 using simulation / miniture-size hardware and the feature components for the next RobotX Challenge.
