ASSUMPTIONS
Behavior of the hovercraft is comparable to a boat
Autopilot behavior using current GPS is comparable to a more accurate GPS
PID for hovercraft is not usable as PID for boat
More time will be spent to tune PID for boat
![Page 34: ROBOTIC BOAT - Chartered · 2016-05-24 · PRESENTATION FORMAT 1. Introduction and Background 2. Identify Needs and Set Specifications 3. Generate, Evaluate and Select Concept 4.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022041821/5e5ddd96fab6dc700f19c89d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
LIMITATIONS
Hovercraft is a different system
Less friction from air therefore less damping
More prone to skidding/drifting
Smaller scale
PID control is not perfectly tuned
Testing conditions
Minor slopes/debris on ground
Accurate GPS for final prototype is not available during CFP stage
- Slight drifting of GPS is expected

APPROPRIATENESS OF EVALUATION CRITERIA
Manufacturability and cost reflects the design of the boat hulls
Hand calculations were done for speed, endurance, stability, and robustness
The hand calculation results show that the design was barely meeting the minimum requirements for
speed and endurance, so a physical scale testing needs to be done
As well, the sonar may pose significant drag force due to its geometry, so a comparison
between the sensor and sensor with fairing was needed.
