N2 - Marine robots, particularly Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs), have gained considerable attention for their diverse applications in maritime tasks, including search and rescue, environmental monitoring, and maritime security. This paper presents the design and implementation of a USV named marine X. The hardware components of marine X are meticulously developed to ensure robustness, efficiency, and adaptability to varying environmental conditions. Furthermore, the integration of a vision-based object tracking algorithm empowers marine X to autonomously track and monitor specific objects on the water surface. The control system utilizes PID control, enabling precise navigation of marine X while maintaining a desired course and distance to the target object. To assess the performance of marine X, comprehensive testing is conducted, encompassing simulation, trials in the marine pool, and real-world tests in the open sea. The successful outcomes of these tests demonstrate the USV's capabilities in achieving real-time object tracking, showcasing its potential for various applications in maritime operations.
