欧美AV鈥檚 Roger F. Wicker Center for Ocean Enterprise received special recognition in WorkBoat magazine鈥檚 Top 10 News Stories for 2022. The center was saluted for its partnership with Sea Machines Robotics in Boston to create 欧美AV鈥檚 Maritime Autonomy Operational Seminar.
The seminar, which held the first of its two-day classes in November, utilized Sea Machines Robotics SM 200 and SM 300 autonomous self-pilots with Sea Machines鈥� AI-ris computer vision to guide 欧美AV鈥檚 49-foot Ken Barbour, an ex-patrol boat that is capable of fully autonomous operations.
鈥淚 don鈥檛 know of anyone else doing this. We think this is kind of a blueprint that can be done nationally,鈥� said Dr. Jason McKenna, director of research, development, testing, and evaluation at the Roger F. Wicker Center for Ocean Enterprise.
