Abstract

With the acceleration of urbanization, the pollution problem caused by floating debris on the water surface of small water areas such as artificial lakes in parks and landscape water systems has become increasingly prominent. Meanwhile, the traditional manual cleaning methods suffer from low efficiency and high costs. To address this issue, this paper develops a catamaran-type unmanned surface vessel (USV) for garbage collection, which is suitable for small enclosed water areas, and focuses its research on the hull design and path planning of the USV. This paper constructs a set of regional full-coverage path planning methods, which provides algorithmic support for the comprehensive cleaning of water surface garbage. Simulations are carried out on MATLAB, and prototype experimental verification is completed, thus designing an effective path planning scheme for USVs to perform garbage collection tasks in small water areas.
