Welcome to the P20032 SailBot Main Page! Sailing is a popular sport that can be practiced competitively or for recreation, and is practiced among a wide variety of individuals, from young children to older retirees. For any sailor, however, a considerable amount of strength, coordination, and agility is required for a successful sailing session.Everyone should enjoy the joy that sailing brings; however, it can be difficult for people with various disabilities to actively partake in the sport. SailBot is a new portable device that can assist a sailor to steer a sonar. The device converts intense physical labor into a simple, easily controlled method. SailBot will be reliable, and adaptable to match any sailors needs for controlling. This is targeted to be helpful for any sailors with any disabilities. Currently, any robotic assisted sailing requires a proprietary, expensive boat or takes a long time to set up.The goals of this project are to create a new device that uses current technologies to make a portable, comfortable control method for a common sonar boat. The expected result is a prototype that is intuitive for the user; and that boathouses can install and remove quickly between sessions. We look forward to your viewing of our progress!
