Multi-objective reliability-based design optimization of an autonomous sailing vessel

• The Maribot Vane is an autonomous sailing drone project that has been in the prototype testing phase for two years, developing a fully capable platform to aid in long-term ocean research projects. With longer voyages required for further development, a more reliable physical platform is a high priority of the next-generation design. This paper applies a multi-objective, Reliability-Based Design Optimization (RBDO) approach to minimize the system cost and the probability of failure under anticipated operational conditions. The results will inform designers of the new platform about their trade-offs between the cost and reliability objectives.
