This involves autonomy in energy (using batteries, solar panels, turbines...), sensor data processing (compass, GPS, wind sensor...), actuators control (rudder and sail angle control...) and decision making (embedded computer with adequate algorithms). Although robotic sailing is a relatively new field of research, several applications exist for this type of robots : oceanographic and hydrographic research, maritime environment monitoring, meteorology, harbor safety, assistance and rescue in dangerous areas... Over the last decade, several events such as the Microtransat challenge, the WRSC/IRSC and SailBot have been set up to stimulate research and development around robotic sailing. These proceedings cover the current and future academic and technology challenges raised by the development of autonomous sailboat robots presented at the WRSC/IRSC (World Robotic Sailing Championship/International Robotic Sailing Conference) 2013, in Brest, France, 2-6 September 2013.Automatic controlRoboticsAutomationArtificial intelligenceControl, Robotics, AutomationArtificial IntelligenceAutomatic control.Robotics.Automation.Artificial intelligence.Control, Robotics, Automation.Artificial Intelligence.006.3620629.8629.892Jaulin Luc145512Le Bars Fabrice1763090MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299474403321Robotic sailing 20134203347UNINA
