This video tells you all about our 2-year MSc program. Spotlight publication State-of-the-art research on motion control of maritime autonomous surface ships "At present, with the development of waterborne transport vehicles, research on ship faces a new round of challenges in terms of intelligence and autonomy. The concept of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) has been put forward by the International Maritime Organization in 2017, in which MASS become the new focus of the waterborne transportation industry. This paper elaborates on the state-of-..." [More...] L. Wang, Q. Wu, J. Liu, S. Li, R.R. Negenborn. State-of-the-art research on motion control of maritime autonomous surface ships.
