Abstract :<\/strong> An overview is presented of the developments and current challenges faced by Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS), which are defined by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) as commercial vessels capable of operating with minimal or no onboard crew. Firstly, the presentation addresses the IMO Regulations, degree of autonomy, and prototypes in the operations. Then, examples of present-day MASS prototypes are presented, showing their main features. The impacts on the economy of shipowners and the tasks of seafarers are highlighted, addressing the advantages and disadvantages of MASS. Then, a brief presentation is made of various automatic systems that may be integrated into these vessels, including collision avoidance systems, path following, and path planning methods. Then the economic and efficiency benefits are discussed from the viewpoint of risk and safety, as well as potential cybersecurity threats. Finally, an overview of existing and proposed regulations governing their operation is presented.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

He has received numerous honors, including the Shaanxi Youth Science and Technology Award, Shaanxi Provincial Teaching Excellence Award, Baosteel Outstanding Teacher Special Prize Nomination Award, NPU Outstanding Graduate Advisor, NPU Most Satisfactory Teacher, and the 2011 Scientific Chinese of the Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a long-term focus on the overall design of underwater vehicles and fluid dynamics, he has been engaged in both research and teaching. He has taught courses such as Fluid Mechanics<\/em>, Torpedo Mechanics<\/em>, and Advanced Fluid Mechanics<\/em>. He has led over 30 major research projects, including the National Key R&D Program, National Natural Science Foundation of China, and the National 863 Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His achievements include two Second Prizes of the National Technology Invention Award, two Second Prizes of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, more than 20 provincial and ministerial-level research awards, over 30 authorized invention patents, and the publication of more than 120 papers, with over 60 indexed by SCI and EI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract :<\/strong> Currently, China’s maritime security faces dual challenges: ecological destruction has led to a sharp reduction in the area of islands and reefs, threatening territorial sovereignty, while the strict monitoring of key straits has hindered the forward deployment of underwater forces. There is an urgent need to develop new-concept submersibles that are bio-friendly, quiet, stealthy, and capable of long-endurance operations. The team led by Pan Guang at Northwestern Polytechnical University, inspired by the manta ray\u2014which excels in efficient gliding, agile flapping, and energy-saving benthic movement\u2014pioneered the concept of a gliding-flapping-benthic multimodal soft-bodied manta-ray-inspired submersible. This innovation has overcome four core technologies: “bionic dynamics theory, integrated gliding and flapping propulsion, multimodal motion control, and perception-coordinated operations.” The team has developed the world’s most comprehensive lineage of manta-ray-inspired submersibles, achieving six major capabilities: high maneuverability, long-range endurance, high bio-friendliness, high stealth, high disturbance resistance, and autonomous operation. This report focuses on the rigid-flexible coupling dynamics theory of multimodal manta-ray-inspired submersibles, the integrated propulsion technology combining bionic pectoral fin flapping and variable-wing gliding, the coordinated motion and disturbance-resistant control technology for gliding-flapping multimodal operations, and the multi-source perception and cluster coordination technology. It discusses the latest technological advancements and applications of soft-bodied manta-ray-inspired submersibles.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Prof. Martin Ludvigsen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Title : Advancing Marine Autonomy Through Field Infrastructure and Scientific Applications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Session:<\/strong> Plenary Lecture C on Aug. 26<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bio :<\/strong> Prof. Martin Ludvigsen is a Professor at the Department of Marine Technology, and his research interests cover underwater robotics and its applications with a focus on perception and autonomy. Ludvigsen has extensive at-sea experience and has been involved in research projects in deep sea, in the upper water column, and the Arctic deploying robotic underwater vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is co-founder and manager of the Applied Underwater Robotics Laboratory (AUR-Lab) at NTNU, Trondheim, Norway. AUR-Lab is a platform for multidisciplinary marine research at NTNU, facilitating research within both engineering disciplines and marine science by providing ROV, AUV and USV operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract :<\/strong> AMarine autonomy progresses through well-defined technological challenges and essential applications in real-world experiments. The Applied Underwater Robotics Laboratory (AUR-Lab) provides operational and efficient infrastructure to enable field-driven robotic research together with marine science and industry. Together with SINTEF Ocean, NTNU expanded the AUR-Lab with Oceanlab focusing on underwater operations, marine observation, aquaculture, and unmanned vessels. These topics were further expanded in the Fjordlab, while also adding support for digital twins and interactive data visualizations, large-scale maritime testing and numerical ocean models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developing autonomy for underwater vehicles is an important research goal for AUR-Lab.  To investigate the natural processes in the ocean such as temperature and salinity gradients and phytoplankton patchiness, adaptive mission planning has been addressed to enable the robots to adapt their operation to underway sensor readings. Model-based deliberative planning algorithms are used for both single and collaborating vehicles. These methods have been further improved and adapted to enable probability optimized mapping of zooplankton densities. Biomass is estimated by numerical modelling and measured with both optical and acoustical instruments. Heterogeneous networks of robotic vehicles combine both distributed and centralized planning approaches for zooplankton mapping. For ship hull inspection, end-to-end autonomous solutions have been developed starting with path planning, following through online perception, which enable real-time mission adaptation through interpretation and reporting. The planning, perception, control and navigation components of these autonomous systems have been further advanced to enable resident and persistent vehicles using subsea docking stations to obtain extended-duration operations independent of support vessels.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
