We are developing an autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) capable of simple DPS for investigation and light work in shallow water areas such as coastal areas and lake, ponds. The body of the ASV used a surfboard as a buoyant body to make it smaller and lighter, so that it can be transported to Japan by loading it in a one-box car. At present, the ASV has already been completed and has completed sea trials by remote maneuvering in the actual sea area. For automatic control, angle preservation is already implemented. This paper describes the results and issues of the waypoint control test for reaching the destination, which was performed for automatic navigation.
