Abstract

Back with Ares, the latest iteration of its ‘Nala’ lineup of autonomous surface vessels (ASV), Barunastra ITS RoboBoat Team brings innovations in hull and frame design, control systems, software architecture, auxiliary systems, and testing strategies. Nala Ares champions a significant reduction in weight, software setup/debug times, and electrical systems complexity. Nala Ares also boasts increases in structural integrity, localization accuracy, and wireless communication reliability. Improvements made upon Nala Ares’ design are rigorously tested to ensure that it fulfills its design criteria: to reliably complete all RoboBoat 2025 autonomy challenge tasks. Nala Ares achieved superior performance compared to other RoboBoat 2025 Prototypes, securing 1st Place/Grand Champion Title, performing at a 320% performance margin over the 2nd best prototype. Improved system reliability proved to be the key factor in the significant performance margin, as in Barunastra ITS’ previous prototypes and many of the current prototypes from other teams, minute errors in specific subsystems might terminate an autonomous run entirely.
