The marine research platform project is partly funded by the European Regional Development Fund. The goal is to develop an autonomous mobile marine research platform, using wind and solar energy. Here the ASPire (Autonomous Sailing Platform) with the free rotating wingsail configuration is tested on water for the first time. Wingsail control angles and rudder are controlled remotely.

First indoor tests of the free rotating wingsail rig for the wind propelled marine research platform ASPire.

Students from Åland University a.s. have developed a windvane steering customized for sailing robots. The first test was a success. The direction to steer is adjusted relative to the wind and the windvane steering system steer mechanically without electricity. A new milestone has been achieved!

Åland Sailing Robots' goal is to have the first successfull autonomous sailing robot cross the Atlantic Ocean. The key people that brings the project forward are mostly students at Åland University of Applied Sciences. For a project like this, you need different areas of expertise and therefore can involve the whole university. The project is open-source and you find a link to our github profil...

Test of complete servo controller software written in c for win32/linux/raspberry. Test layout is a round of rock/paper/scissors. The servo default range is 90 degree as are these papers cut from squares. The middle position is 45 degree. The shake is performed in the between positions. And the reset is performed using a slower speed setting, while the timings are performed with a seperate paus...
