This video tells you all about our 2-year MSc program. Spotlight publication Survey on autonomous surface vessels: Part II - Categorization of 60 prototypes and future applications "Autonomous Surface Vessels (ASVs) have been developed for more than 20 years. Many ASV projects have been successfully realized, and as many are still under development. In literature there is a lack in research about different applications and suitable environments for the deployment of ASV. In our previous paper [44], we introduced the emerging concept of autonomous vessels. A multi-layer multi-..." [More...] M. Schiaretti, L. Chen, R.R. Negenborn.
