In recent years, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence, internet of things, big data, other high-tech technologies and their combination with marine vehicle and marine engineering, the development and research of intelligent/unmanned marine vehicles have received great attention from major shipbuilding and shipping countries in the world.
Autonomous marine vehicles is becoming an important carrier of future maritime transportation, and will eventually operate in the environment with unman mode. In this context, the implementation of autonomous vehicle manipulation and control with safe, economical and efficient navigation will become a prerequisite for current applications. In practice, its ultimate goal is to implement the various navigational tasks in the complex and changeable marine environment for a long time, safely, reliably and independently. To do this, there are many problems involved in the autonomous navigation of autonomous marine vehicles, such as environmental perception, guidance, control and decision-making.
The focus of this research topic is on studies that how to explore the methods and paths using information technique, intelligent algorithms, etc., for realizing the autonomous and safe navigation capabilities of autonomous marine vehicles and improving their control performance. Mainly researches include the intellisense method, guidance technique, advanced control technique and navigation risk management technique of autonomous surface vehicles. It calls for original and novel papers related to autonomous surface vehicles in any of the research topics.
