Imagine this. You've been stranded on an empty island for years, you finally gather enough resources to make a raft and head out to sea to find your way back to civilization. You have been adrift now for several days and awaken to the sound of motors. You see in the distance a yellow boat. Frantically, you wave and shout and jump. The boat swerves around you and continues on at full speed. RIP Chuck Noland lol
These type of systems have been around for a while... I worked off shore for a year, and Siemens outfitted our supply boat with remote actuators, satellite data connections, cameras in the wheelhouse and engine rooms, AIS hard connect (meaning the ais data was fed to the automation computers, radar hard connections, remote rudder position sensors, etc... All of this information was fed to the home office and they could take over control of the boat at anytime. It was mostly designed in the event the crew was incapacitated or if the boat were taken over in a hostage situation. (Understand, we were usually carrying over 40,000 gallons of methanol, diesel, or JP4) My boat was over 30 years old and was being retro fit with all these systems to make it safer. Testing was really cool. We piloted out to the middle of the Gulf where there was no traffic, shut everything Dow, and let go of ALL duties. It was kinda cool to watch from the engine room as valves moved themselves, air actuators pressurized themselves, and the rudders started moving on their own (with captain standing next to us in the engine room arms folded). Obviously, seen the boat work on auto pilot before, but I hadn't seen it come to life on it's on.
Someone will be on board to clean, maintain and prepare for docking The boat won’t be driven by a person but people will still be on it. And there will be someone to manage everyone and tell them what to do Ie: a captain.
You are wrong, Sir. As a pirate you hack their Autonomous driving computer. Then you could even have their vessel change course and come to YOU. How sweet doesn't that sound to the old pirate's ears? Making the ships sail to you instead of chasing them down! No more broadsides and men lost on your side. You simply lay waiting somewhere at your convenience. Arrrghhh.... I'll drink to that.
Imagine if we had sea posts in certain high-risk areas for ships, with some autonymous ships that would occassionally be sent out, or deployed on purpose to check if any ships in the vicinity need help. That would be awesome. Especially if they had a remote-control function, like small arms underneath that could clear debris from under another boat if need me, by a human operator.
Even though the automation technology is available, there are so many factors that could make crewless ships irrelevant or too cost inefficient such as: 1) Ethics: Who is responsible if a high seas drone ship sails past someone in distress? Who is responsible in the case of collision? 2) Redundancy: What happens if the ship loses its satellite connection? What if the radar breaks down? (This happens more often than you think) 3) Piracy: Assuming that the ship is carrying valuable goods, how will you protect these in the case of an attack? What about insurance? In a military sense, automation could never be the only choice.
vagizz it’s not all about practicality some people prefer the style or like having the brand because it shows it’s expensive and it stands for something
No, we're going to have our own automatic shoe making robot that will order things online and build them exactly to our size at a much cheaper price than Nike.
We are no way near full autonomous ships. No way anyone are willing to let their billion $ cargo across the atlantic (or any sea for that sake) without a crew. You don't spend 1 day at sea without something that would require a humans hand or logic.
The Japanese pioneered this tech about 20 years ago for shipping. The showstopper was piracy. No humans on board made and easy target for pirates to commandeer the ship

@@GeNiTaliA90 Im a lifelong commercial mariner, I read about the development back in the 90's prior to internet mass adoption. In Maritime magazines. Although the tech only developed for integrated radar ARPA collision avoidance, track pilot, and navigation for the open sea leg. All common in the bridge today. A crew was still required to pilot in and out of ports boarding via pilot boats. Several manned tests were made across the pacific, but never a real test. Enginw crews still required.

@@loomineking4279 Wow, I surly didn't expect a friendly comment like that. Was 100% sure an insulting whoosh-comment was coming after that one. It's the youtube comment section after all. Thanks for restoring my faith in humanity :)
The navigation of a ship is important, but one of the easiest tasks involved in managing a ship at sea. There is so much more to captaining a ship, from maintenance, to supply, to weight distribution, to following all the regulations when leaving/entering port, and much more. Steering the ship automatically is trivial in comparison. Focusing on this makes it seem like there wasn't much more to it than that.
Back in the 80’s we had auto pilot on boats. They just drove in a straight line or toward a destination. It’s ancient technology. But to get a boat to pull out and dock automatically, that’s something.
Awesome, but for me it opens more questions than anything. It has more problem than cars to overcome, really depends on what task we expect a boat to do by itself, and to what type of boat you want to fit with this. A big problem for example, can it figure out when to apply power in waves, can it calculate the course to follow with current? This prototype is not that big and faces those problems.
I think they're trying to say that it is using a form of machine-learning, so it is generally much better at complex problems than we could ever program it to be.
I do wonder how many sensors you need for boat to be fully autonomous. Like propeller stalling due to entanglement or hull breach on debree. Probably separate repair and refuel boats will be needed to that field support is possible. That would be a cool future :)
Most modern boats, especially yachts, have sensors out the wazoo already. Proximity sensors would be a challenge, I would think, because of a constantly shifting resting surface. A little bit of chop and your sensors are useless. It seemed from the cideo that they rely a lot on GPS info being broadcast from other ships to avoid collision. This wouldn't work with small vessel especially in rough seas.
Autohelm can already do that and that's everywhere (you can even buy it for tiny rudder operated boats) look it up if you don't know what it is its very simular to this
This, like so many new technologies, would help the world in many ways but also brings with it a number of drawbacks. When applied to the criminal world it could be used to smuggle anything, in a much more concealable vessel. In a military application, it could be used to carry out attacks similar to the one on the USS Cole. Also, new legislation would definitely have to be put in place to have these on large cargo ships. I mean there are lawsuits on autonomous based car accidents (obviously way less than human-controlled accidents) , I can't imagine what it would be like if a huge tanker crashed due to problems in the autonomous system.
this tech has already been around for years and the legislation doesn't need to be changed as you must maintain a proper lookout at all times which this is very useful it's not a substitute for a good look out
so this is autohelm with collision avoidance but it doesn't look like it will avoid rubbish, ropes, and other non-AIS or non-radar obstacles. For reference most boats already have autohelm which when you can set a course and it automatically follows the set course, it will also set alarms if it thinks it is on course for a collision with another boat on AIS (not every boat is registered on AIS but all big ones are) so with autohelm you just need to keep an eye out for smaller non-AIS boats, rubbish and respond to AIS alarms so all this does is respond to AIS alarms which isn't that big of an upgrade imo. Autohelm is already in loads of boats from small 30ft sailing yachts all the way up to the much larger boats better auto helms have more features but the standard is setting a compass heading and it will stay on it
Did you watch the video? They clearly state several use cases where this tech enhances, not replaces, the ability of human crews to do crucial work. They also talked about new use cases that would be impossible using human crews. This is a win for everyone involved, not a Luddite's nightmare.
Large vessel already had a degree of autonomy with an autopilot between waypoints, search patterns and there are path design algorithms to reduce fuel consumption. A large vessel cannot go full autonomous as it needs a crew.
Boats already have auto-pilot. You point it in a straight line and tell it to hold that course. Should an obstacle or potential collision be detected it will inform you of such.
Clearly, none of you giving this concept a thumbs up, have ever sailed in a storm before. No automated course corrector will ever replace a seasoned sailor.
Is the rules of the road part of the code? Will it try to pass port to port in a head on situation? Will it make arrangements with a vessel in an overtaking situation assuming the vessel being over taken is still manned?
Boats a have had autotonomy probable the longest of any transportation. Autotonomy is replacement.this is a very cool idea, the easiest form to impliment.
You could even have autonomous yachts boats that allow the owner to drive it manually, but the AI will stop anything dangerous from happening. So if you drive full speed towards another boat, the AI will simply stop the boat in time. That way captains/owners can have the joy of boating without the danger.
As a maritime engineer. I can say this topic is only related boats, not ships. Ships are some more technical and fault more vulnerable. Every ship in this planets have faults and the blackouts are not that rare. +IMO (International Maritime Organization) is not going to accept autonomous ships for next 25 years. Maybe after that every ship is moving with LNG or fully electric power.
Goods will never get cheaper, the companies will just employee fewer people and keep the profits for the shareholders or the EIEIO's. That said this is still cool!
Imagine pirates in the future will be armed with laptop and signal receiver to hack and intercept into a huge cargo vessel's guidance computer and redirect it to their port then loot it up
I envision an autonomous cargo ship sitting immobile in the middle of the ocean with a pirate ship parked in front of it as other pirates board the ship.
What about the Colregs, does the vessel take this into consideration? If a vessel is coming from port side and the autonomous vessel is the stand on vessel and the give way vessel is not giving way, what would the autonomous vessel do in that case?
need to scale up to container ships where you can test in the open sea watched over by the regular crew. I bet a shipping company would let you do it if you do it for free in exchange to develop
Motherboard, All Mariners are required to assist distressed Mariners. If my boat capsized, I was standing on hull waving my arms, how would the Autonomous Vessel know I needed help?
Once they can build robots(like in I,ROBOT). Those robots can do 99% of manual jobs. So, what are people with little education gonna do?😳re-train? Scary
Boats will always need a human in the wheel house in case the technology malfunctions. This may eliminate a few jobs, but certainly not all of them. Smaller boats always have to look out for logs, trees, and other hazards that radar and AIS won't pick up.

Also, I hope this boat has a way to learn sea state, because if you dont go now into the waves in some boats they will capsize.
