The future of the sea may be held by computer scientists. Right now there is a frenetic global race to build the first autonomous unmanned ship that covers routes directed by an artificial intelligence program. If there are already driverless cars, why not launch robot boats ? Logistics companies dream of gigantic container ships that navigate automatically. The first tests of robotic crossings are already being carried out in Plymouth or Vigo.
Candela P-, the fastest electric passenger ferry in the world
Mayflower
The world's first fully autonomous ship , Mayflower , is set to make its maiden voyage across the Atlantic this month. Delayed due to the pandemic, the launch was supposed to take place last year to celebrate the th anniversary of the sailing of the original Mayflower, the ship that brought settlers from England to North America.
The Mayflower will be guided by artificial intelligence instead of a human crew. She will leave Plymouth, England, on May and arrive in Massachusetts, about , miles away. Powered by solar en Phone Number List ergy, she was launched in as a partnership between IBM, the University of Plymouth, autonomous boat specialists MSubs and marine research charity ProMare.
Mayflower
The -ton, -foot-long trimaran, which can make its own decisions and navigate completely autonomously, will also be able to study the environment by analyzing marine mammals and the presence of plastic in the ocean. With no captain or crew on board, Mayflower uses AI to traverse the ocean in its search for data and discovery about whale populations, sea levels, ocean microplastics, and other research topics. She has a sophisticated camera and radar system to continue learning about her surroundings.

The ocean is the heart of the planet that also regulates the global climate. More than % of our ocean is uncharted, unobserved and unexplored due to its size and the dangers it contains. “Having a ship without people on board allows scientists to expand the area they can observe,” said Rosie Lickorish, an emerging technologies specialist at IBM.
Mayflower
Built in Poland to ProMare specifications, the vessel incorporates many advanced marine architecture features designed to withstand the stress of extended voyages at sea. Despite being completely autonomous, a team in the UK will monitor the ship hours a day, ready to take control of the ship if necessary.
