IMAT : Integrated Maritime Autonomous Transport Systems : The IMAT project will develop and test land-based sensors, communication systems and control systems used as a support to autonomous vessels navigation and operation. The technological infrastructure will be able to provide the transportation systems with increased sensor redundancy and will be an integrated part of the shore-based control centres, which shall ensure safe and efficient operation. A reliable infrastructure is crucial for a safe implementation of maritime autonomous transport systems.
Shone : Seafarer is one of the most hazardous job on Earth. Despite this, every day, men and women sail at sea to ship 80% of our consumer goods. We believe that Artificial Intelligence is the key to provide better work conditions to the amazing people who support the world’s trade and prosperity.
L3 ASV Global : Empowering organizations with our unrivaled expertise and experience enabling them to work autonomously at sea.
Sea Machines : Sea Machines Robotics is a forward-looking, autonomous technology company that specializes in advanced control technology for workboats and other commercial surface vessels.
