Maritime Unmanned Navigation through Intelligence in Networks: The MUNIN project
Paper in proceeding, 2013
This paper introduces the MUNIN project attempting to put a 200 meter long bulk carrier under autonomous control. The paper gives a motivation and an overview of the project as well as present some of the key research questions dealing with the human intervention possibilities. As a fallback option the unmanned ship is monitored by a shore control center which has the ability to take direct control if necessary. A challenge for the unmanned ship is the interaction with other manned ships.
