      title = {Retrofit an 11-Meter Yacht for Autonomous Navigation},
      abstract = {Intelligent/autonomous ships form a rising field that  brings beneficial changes to waterborne transportation such  as relieving labour shortages, avoiding collisions, and  providing assistance to humans. Many autonomous navigation  attempts have been carried out on ship models rather than  real ships. The results of these studies have certain gaps  with the results of full-scale ships. Cost and risk of  intelligent ships for autonomous navigation are yet  unclear, which makes retrofitting existing ships for tests  and development appealing. This paper introduces the  process of retrofitting a full-scale 11-meter yacht,  including mechanical retrofit, hardware redesign, software  deployment, and functional testing. The process is proposed  as a solution of ship retrofit for autonomous navigation  functions like heading control, path following, and  collision avoidance. In the end, this paper concludes a  plan of hardware and software that could help find more  retrofit solutions, providing a reference for academic  research and practical applications.},
