I-SEAMORE Project Concludes with a Tested Maritime Surveillance Platform
, co-funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation program under the Grant Agreement 101073911, officially concluded, having successfully delivered an integrated platform for maritime surveillance. Developed over two and a half years, the platform leverages AI, Big Data fusion, and multi-asset orchestration (UxVs) to provide European Maritime Authorities with enhanced situational awareness and operational readiness.The project marked its conclusion with the I-SEAMORE Final Demonstration on September 16th in Tróia, Portugal, and the I-SEAMORE Final Event on September
AI is Boosting Operational Autonomy
the advances being made in subsea robotics and challenges involved in achieving full operational autonomy. “Current systems predominantly exhibit partial autonomy, performing pre-defined missions with limited adaptability. However, advancements in hybrid localisation techniques, multi-modal sensor fusion, and AI-driven decision-making are pushing the boundaries of autonomy, enabling autonomous underwater systems to adapt dynamically to complex underwater environments.”Control systems bridge the gap between decision making and physical execution, and they are increasingly incorporating AI-based
FarSounder Announces SEA.AI Integration in Web Application
displays.For vessels equipped with SEA.AI, the integration of data into FarSounder’s new web app merges optical and sonar data, shown along with ARPA and AIS targets into a single, cohesive UI. Surface targets are now visible alongside submerged hazards like reefs or underwater obstacles. This fusion of data offers improved situational awareness, ensuring safer navigation in even the most challenging waters
Frontier Robotics Secures First Commercial Sale With ORE Catapult
into ORE Catapult’s VDARE simulation to create virtually ‘real’ assets.The unpredictable nature of the world's oceans makes the inspection and maintenance of offshore assets challenging, with visibility in murky waters a particular obstacle. By leveraging advanced sensor fusion techniques with edge computing, Frontier Robotics' system offers enhanced visual clarity, robust and reliable positioning and 3D mapping through Simultaneous Localisation And Mapping (SLAM) technology. SLAM enables ROVs to create comprehensive 3D maps of their surroundings while simultaneously
Fugro Finds Partners for New Subsea Assets Data and Monitoring Platform
