About this ebook

Autonomous Boats explores the exciting and rapidly advancing world of self-driving vessels, examining the technologies that enable boats to navigate waterways independently. The book focuses on three core areas: how these boats ""see"" their environment using sensor technology like LiDAR, how they make decisions using AI algorithms to avoid obstacles, and how they execute those decisions through propulsion and steering. These autonomous systems hold the promise of increased efficiency and safety in maritime operations.

The book begins by tracing the historical evolution of maritime automation, from early autopilots to today's unmanned surface vehicles. It then progresses through key aspects of autonomous boat operation, including obstacle avoidance and handling dynamic environmental conditions. Real-world case studies provide insights into the successes and challenges of current autonomous boat projects.

Ultimately, the book addresses the ethical, legal, and societal implications of marine automation, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the future of maritime technology.
