Case Study: EPFL student team sails toward sustainable maritime innovation with SBG Systems Ellipse-N
A SBG Systems Case Study
EPFL sails to 2 Monaco Energy Boat Challenge competitions with SBG Systems
A dynamic student association from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) faced the challenge of building a precise navigation system for their innovative solar and hydrogen-powered foiling boat. They required a reliable sensor to serve as the core of their flight control software, ensuring the vessel would not be blind during operation. They turned to vendor SBG Systems for a solution.
SBG Systems provided their Ellipse-N, a high-performance RTK Inertial Navigation System (INS). Integrated into the boat's software, the Ellipse-N delivered accurate orientation and motion measurements, becoming a component the team could trust completely. This solution provided the precise control and stability needed for navigation, forming the foundation for the student team's efforts in transforming maritime transport towards a sustainable future.
