Research Summary
Autonomous ships, also known as ＂unmanned ships＂ or ＂robotic ships＂, are vessels that operate without a crew onboard. Instead, they are controlled remotely or through advanced artificial intelligence and sensors. These vessels can perform a variety of tasks, such as transportation, surveillance, research, and exploration. Advancements in technology like machine learning, AI, and sensors have made it possible to develop highly sophisticated autonomous systems that can navigate through challenging sea conditions and perform various operations without human intervention. Autonomous ships are expected to transform the shipping industry by reducing costs, increasing efficiency, and reducing the risk of accidents caused by human error.
