Small boats are normally used for different applications such as fishing, crafting, or just for leisure, but the hustle is always there during the boat launching or loading from and to the trailer as a certain skill is required. Even with the new thrusters' system that makes it a little bit easier to maneuver, the process is still manual and usually requires multiple people to coordinate the boat safe load/launch. The present disclosure includes disclosure of a boat autonomous loading and launching system where the boat can autonomously launch from the trailer and load to the trailer. The boat control unit can receive several measurements from a user interface device, sensors, and navigation unit, process them, and control the boat's propellers and thrusters and the trailer's locking mechanism.
An autonomous boat launching and loading system, comprising:
The autonomous boat launching and loading system of claim 6, wherein the control system is further configured to receive data from the boat side communication system and the trailer side communication system.
