This paper is an extended version of work published in [10]. We extend our previous work by including simulations for path-planning algorithm, preliminary experiments and better presentation of the control system. The path-planning algorithm is based in the angle-guidance fast marching square method and the path-following is based in the line-of-sight trajectory tracking algorithm. To validate the path-planning algorithm, numerical simulations were carried out to search the optimal path in a static environment of 50x20 m2 of area including various obstacles. The path-following algorithm was tested with an autonomous surface vehicle tracking a pre-established trajectory including static obstacles. The autonomous surface vehicle is a self-running scaled ship model of 2.5 m equipped with motions sensors, GNSS positioning, propulsion DC motors, and wireless communication. From the experiments and numerical simulations, a good agreement was found.
