Abstract: This paper describes the architecture and control design of an autonomous Electric Boat, together with a specific simulation environment for training and testing the Fuzzy Inference Systems. The boat will be in charge to exit and enter from harbors, plan and follow a route, avoid obstacles such as other boats, correct its motion, perform a virtual anchor and switch between these operations autonomously. The boat is equipped with a set of smart sensors such as sonars, a Global Positioning System, a camera-based vision system and an Inertial Measurement Unit. General navigation rules are respected during the route. We propose an architecture integrating several Fuzzy Controller-based modular pipelines. Furthermore, we propose a mathematical formalization of the Fish Schooling Behavior useful for training Fuzzy Controllers through Q-Learning. Our architecture will soon be implemented on a real boat intended for navigating in inland waters.
