DESCRIPTION

Autonomous Marine Vessels come in many forms that have many applications, e.g.,:

  1. Autonomous Ships
  2. Autonomous Sailing Boats
  3. Autonomous Underwater Vessels

This CVML Web Module focuses on Autonomous Marine Vessel theory  and technology, its applications in the above-mentioned diverse domains and new challenges ahead. Autonomous Surface Vessels  are presented first.  Autonomous Underwater Vessels are also detailed, in particular Autonomous Underwater Vessel Perception.

Autonomous vessel collision avoidance.

CVML WEB LECTURE MODULE SCHEDULE

This module has been designed to be mastered within 1 week (or less), if you have proper background (at least early undergraduate student in an EE, ECE, CS, CSE or any Engineering or Exact Sciences Department).
We propose that you follow the above mentioned  Lecture order. You may want to skip few Lectures that might not be of immediate interest to you for later study.

On average you can study 4 lectures per week. The related effort is as follows:
Lecture pdf study and filling the related understanding questionnaire: 1-2 hours per lecture (on average, depending on your background).
