contents Unmanned surface vessels USVs are typically autonomous or remotely operated and are specifically designed for environmental monitoring in various aquatic environments Aquaculture requires constant monitoring and management of water quality for the health and productivity of aquaculture systems Poor water quality can lead to disease outbreaks reduced growth rates and even mass mortality of cultured species Many small aquaculture operations operate on tight budgets and in shallow water environments such as inland ponds coastal lagoons estuaries and shallow rivers particularly in developing regions This leads to the foremost manoeuvrability challenge underscoring the crucial need for agile cost effective USVs as efficient monitoring systems The paper proposes a low cost 3D printed twin hull catamaran style platform equipped with an Inertial Measurement Unit IMU and a Global Navigation Satellite System GNSS with a two layered control framework and a differential drive configuration developed using two high efficiency T200 thrusters The design utilizes the Robot Operating System ROS to create the control framework and incorporates Extended Kalman Filter EKF based sensor fusion techniques for localisation The paper evaluates the USVs autonomy through open water captive model experiments employing remote control methods to assess the vessels manoeuvrability and overall performance in shallow water conditions
