Maritime Autonomous System

Maritime Autonomous Systems (MAS) encompass unmanned surface and underwater vehicles designed for autonomous operation in marine environments, aiming to improve efficiency and safety in various maritime applications. Current research heavily focuses on developing robust navigation and control systems that comply with maritime regulations, integrating advanced AI, particularly deep learning, for tasks like navigation and cooperative control, and addressing cybersecurity vulnerabilities through red teaming frameworks. This field is significant for its potential to revolutionize maritime operations, offering cost savings, enhanced safety, and enabling tasks previously impossible or too dangerous for humans.
