Science in pictures To the point: Survey on autonomous surface vessels: Part II - Categorization of 60 prototypes and future applications "Autonomous Surface Vessels (ASVs) have been developed for more than 20 years. Many ASV projects have been successfully realized, and as many are still under development. In literature there is a lack in research about different applications and suitable environments for the deployment of ASV. In our previous paper [44], we introduced the emerging concept of autonomous vessels. A multi-layer multi-..." [More...] Survey on autonomous surface vessels: Part II - Categorization of 60 prototypes and future applications. M. Schiaretti, L. Chen, R.R. Negenborn. In Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Computational Logistics (ICCL 2017), Southampton, UK, pp. 234-252, October 2017.    Multi-area predictive control for combined electricity and natural gas systems "The optimal operation of an integrated electricity and natural gas system is investigated. The couplings between these two systems are modeled by energy hubs, which serve as interface between the loads and the transmission infrastructures. Previously, we have applied a distributed control scheme to a static three-hub benchmark system. In this paper, we propose an extension of this distributed cont..." [More...] Multi-area predictive control for combined electricity and natural gas systems. M. Arnold, R.R. Negenborn, G. Andersson, B. De Schutter. In Proceedings of the European Control Conference 2009 (ECC'09), Budapest, Hungary, pp. 1408-1413, August 2009.    State-of-the-art research on motion control of maritime autonomous surface ships "At present, with the development of waterborne transport vehicles, research on ship faces a new round of challenges in terms of intelligence and autonomy. The concept of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) has been put forward by the International Maritime Organization in 2017, in which MASS become the new focus of the waterborne transportation industry. This paper elaborates on the state-of-..." [More...] State-of-the-art research on motion control of maritime autonomous surface ships. L. Wang, Q. Wu, J. Liu, S. Li, R.R. Negenborn. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, vol. 7, no. 12, December 2019. Open access.    Closed-loop scheduling and control of waterborne AGVs for energy-efficient Inter Terminal Transport "We propose closed-loop energy-efficient scheduling and control of an autonomous Inter Terminal Transport (ITT) system using waterborne Autonomous Guided Vessels (waterborne AGVs). A novel pick-up and delivery problem considering safe intervals between berthing time slots of different waterborne AGVs is proposed. Waterborne AGVs are controlled in a cooperative distributed way to carry out assigned ..." [More...] Closed-loop scheduling and control of waterborne AGVs for energy-efficient Inter Terminal Transport.
