Plenary Speakers
Margareta Holtensdotter Lützhöft
Professor at the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences
The adaptation of maritime autonomy - The presentation starts with a look at Viking navigation and shows how we still work in similar ways today. We move on to discussing automation and autonomy, with examples from a Norwegian research project, HUMANE. We will explore the development of maritime autonomy, look at some myths and the problem of the business case for autonomous shipping. Then we will turn to the future of smart ships and how they can be designed to work in a socio-technical system. Finally, we conclude with the role of humans and a challenge for the engineers.
Stephanie Kemna
Research Manager at Maritime Robotics
Marine Surface and Aerial Robots: past, present and future - Maritime Robotics develops innovative solutions for maritime data acquisition, including uncrewed surface vehicles (USV) and uncrewed aerial systems (UAS). In 2011, Maritime Robotics built and commissioned their first USV. Since then, many smaller USVs sold wordwide, as the global USV market grew. In this talk, we look back at accomplishments so far and look forward at where industry and research are moving towards. We highlight some recent projects and new markets and discuss challenges ahead.
Mogens Blanke
Professor at the Technical University of Denmark
Surface Ship Autonomy Coming of Age - Autonomous technology is coming of age, and autonomous surface ships are finding their way for testing at sea. Challenges remain, however. Ensuring dependable behaviours in all situations, validating resilience to the unexpected are subjects for intense activity and prerequisites to obtain general approval by authorities. The plenary will evaluate facts and features of the complex technologies behind the scenes of marine autonomy. Challenges are discussed and solutions outlined. Autonomous supervision architectures are emphasised due to salient features including clearly separated functionalities that match established procedures for watch-keeping and navigation, and ability to validate intelligent modules individually. At system level, they form an integrated entirety with reproducible results and, should this be needed, transparent mechanisms to enable human intervention.

DTU Centre for Collaborative Autonomous Systems
CCAS is a research and innovation hub that, by leveraging existing research leadership in electrical engineering, computer science, management engineering and space technology, will accelerate the development of autonomous systems' technologies across several domains, and will investigate socio-economic-regulatory enablers and barriers towards the actualization of autonomous systems in the wider societal context.
Danish Automation Society
The Danish Automation Company is working to promote the conditions for automation in Denmark. DAU does this by supporting the exchange of experience on technology development and business models, as well as providing inspiration for new automation solutions. DAU is not involved in solving specific automation tasks, but through its initiatives and activities, it wants to contribute to the exchange of experience between users of automation. DAU is also used as a strategic partner for a number of educational institutions.
