Autonomous marine vessels can be described as surface (boats, ships) and underwater ones (submarines). They have many applications in marine transportation, marine/submarine surveillance and many challenges in environment perception/mapping and vehicle control, to be reviewed in this lecture. The following topics are covered: Autonomous Surface Vessel (ASV) Applications, ASV types, ASV autonomy types, Basic elements… Continue reading Autonomous Surface Vessels
