Autonomous systems are becoming ubiquitous and gaining momentum within the marine sector. Since the electrification of transport is happening simultaneously, autonomous marine vessels can reduce environmental impact, lower costs, and…

The encounter situation between marine vessels determines how they should navigate to obey COLREGs, but time-varying and stochastic uncertainty in estimation of angles of encounter, and of closest point of approach, easily give rise to…

In this paper, we look at the role of autonomous navigation in the maritime domain. Specifically, we examine how an Autonomous Surface Vessel(ASV) can achieve obstacle avoidance based on the Convention on the International Regulations for…

Connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) can reduce human errors in traffic accidents, increase road efficiency, and execute various tasks ranging from delivery to smart city surveillance. Reaping these benefits requires CAVs to…

Heading towards navigational autonomy in unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) in the maritime sector can fundamentally lead towards safer waters as well as reduced operating costs, while also providing a range of exciting new capabilities for…

We are witnessing the rise of autonomous cars, which will likely revolutionize the way we travel. Arguably, the maritime domain lags behind, as ships operate on many more degrees of freedom (thus, a much larger search space): there is less…

Fully or partial autonomous marine vessels are actively being developed by many industry actors. In many cases, the autonomous vessels will be operating close to shore, and within range of a Remote Control Center (RCC). Close to shore…

In the shipping digitalisation process, the peak will be reached with the advent of a wholly autonomous and at the same time safe and reliable ship. Full autonomy could be obtained by two linked Artificial-Intelligence systems representing…

An enabling technology for future sea transports is safe and energy-efficient autonomous maritime navigation in narrow environments with other marine vessels present. This requires that the algorithm controlling the ship is able to account…

Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) are increasingly regarded as a promising solution to address crew shortages, improve navigational safety, and improve operational efficiency in the maritime industry. Nevertheless, the reliable…

Research on coastal regions traditionally involves methods like manual sampling, monitoring buoys, and remote sensing, but these methods face challenges in spatially and temporally diverse regions of interest. Autonomous surface vehicles…

As the demand for transportation through waterways continues to rise, the number of vessels plying the waters has correspondingly increased. This has resulted in a greater number of accidents and collisions between ships, some of which lead…

This paper presents a novel method to quantify seafarers' good seamanship during navigation scenarios with multi-vessel encounters -- in open and confined waters --, and to compute COLREG's-compliant trajectories for avoiding collision and…

The increasing use and implementation of Autonomous Surface Vessels (ASVs) for various activities in maritime environments is expected to drive a rise in developments and research on their control. Particularly, the coordination of multiple…

Navigation and guidance of autonomous vehicles is a fundamental problem in robotics, which has attracted intensive research in recent decades. This report is mainly concerned with provable collision avoidance of multiple autonomous vehicles…

Collision avoidance in heterogeneous fleets of uncrewed vessels is challenging because the decision-making processes and controllers often differ between platforms, and it is further complicated by the limitations on sharing trajectories…

This paper presents a novel conflict resolution strategy for autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) to safely navigate and avoid collisions in a multi-vessel environment at sea. Collisions between two or more marine vessels must be avoided by…

Path Following and Collision Avoidance, be it for unmanned surface vessels or other autonomous vehicles, are two fundamental guidance problems in robotics. For many decades, they have been subject to academic study, leading to a vast number…

With the growing demands for Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs) in recent years, the number of ASVs being deployed for various maritime missions is expected to increase rapidly in the near future. However, it is still challenging for ASVs…

Autonomous navigation in maritime domains is accelerating alongside advances in artificial intelligence, sensing, and connectivity. Opaque decision-making and poorly calibrated human-automation interaction remain key barriers to safe…
