SFI Autoship

NTNU - Centre of Research based innovation on Autonomous Ships (2020-2028): Work package leader of Safety and assurance, Funded by Research Council of Norway and industry. More information.

Unlocking the potential of autonomous systems and operations through supervisory risk control (UNLOCK)

In the future, autonomous systems with increased intelligence will emerge. Acceptance and approval of highly intelligent systems with built-in learning and optimization capabilities require supervisory risk control and online risk modelling, testing and verification to become a driver in design, operation and overall system validation. UNLOCK addresses fundamental research challenges related to risk acceptance and supervisory risk control of autonomous systems and operations. The results of the project will support and enhance the achievement of higher-level autonomy and intelligence in advanced control systems. The aim is to achieve safe system performances and allow for widespread use of autonomous systems.

The research project (2018-2022) is funded by FRINATEK, and is associated with the Center of Excellence NTNU AMOS. More information.

Online risk management and risk control for autonomous ships (ORCAS)

This project will develop novel technological solutions for online risk management and risk control of autonomous ships. Cutting-edge interdisciplinary research combining cybernetics and risk management aims to achieve high level of autonomy, intelligence and decision-making capabilities for autonomous ships.

The KPN research/industry project (2018-2022) is funded by MAROFF, Kongsberg Maritime, and DNV, and is associated with the Center of Excellence NTNU AMOS. More information.

Reducing risk in aquaculture

This project (2016-2020) researched and developed novel concepts for autonomous operations and technology to improve safety and efficiency in aquaculture. In particular, the project addressed daily operations and inspection, maintenance, and repair (IMR) for exposed locations, but the project results are alos applicable to more sheltered fish production. More information.

Undervisning

Involvert i studiefordypning i marin sikkerhet og driftsledelse (tidligere driftsteknikk) i det 5-årige studieprogrammet i marin teknikk. Fordypningen dekker viktig kunnskap og metoder for drift av effektive, sikre og miljøvennlige marine systemer, dvs. skip, offshore olje - og gassinstallasjoner, fiskeri og havbruk og fornybar energiproduksjon fra havet.
