Abstract

Recently, automation and unmanned technologies have been developing rapidly in various industries. In the field of traffic and transportation, the development of unmanned technologies is remarkable, and it is already moving on to the practical stage in the field of transportation infrastructure such as automobiles, railways and aircrafts. The development of automation and autonomy technologies is expected not only to save manpower and reduce labor, but also to eliminate human errors and greatly contribute to ensuring our safety. This paper focuses on our autonomous technology for ships and also introduces the history of our development processes. In view of the greater use of the autonomous technology in society in the future, this innovation is considered to be also used for inspection work on marine infrastructure such as breakwaters and revetment structures. With this notion in mind, we have conducted an experiment to confirm whether our autonomous vehicles are suitable to meet such a purpose. In addition, we describe the expectations, challenges, and prospects for practical applications of the technology in other areas, such as marine traffic and security, as well as inspection applications for marine infrastructure.

多用途无人潜航器介绍及其应用实例

近年来，自动化和无人驾驶技术在各个行业得到了迅速发展。在交通运输领域，无人驾驶技术发展显著，在汽车、铁路、飞机等交通基础设施领域已经进入实用化阶段。自动化和自主技术的发展不仅可以节省人力，减少劳动，而且可以消除人为错误，为确保我们的安全做出巨大贡献。本文重点介绍了我们的船舶自主技术，并介绍了我们的发展历程。鉴于未来社会对自主技术的更多使用，这一创新被认为也可用于防波堤和护岸结构等海洋基础设施的检查工作。带着这个想法，我们进行了一项实验，以确认我们的自动驾驶汽车是否适合满足这一目的。此外，我们还描述了该技术在其他领域的实际应用的期望、挑战和前景，例如海上交通和安全，以及海洋基础设施的检查应用。
