Spotlight publication Survey on short-term technology developments and readiness levels for autonomous shipping "Recently, Autonomous Surface Vessels (ASVs) have attracted a lot of attention. Developing a fully autonomous vessel is challenging. Existing research provides a track from existing vessels to a remotecontrolled vessel with reduced crews, an unmanned remote-controlled vessel, and at the end, a fully autonomous vessel. The first step is to equip existing vessels to realize autonomous sailing. In thi..." [More...] L.E. van Cappelle, L. Chen, R.R. Negenborn.
