• Ship propulsion and power plants that self-optimize fuel consumption and emissions.
• Surveillance of coasts and oceans using satellites and unmanned vehicles for mapping
and monitoring of fish farms. maritime traffic, marine resources and environment.
• Intelligent aquaculture installations able to operate in to areas exposed to more energetic
waves and strenger currents.
The key objectives to be pursued by AMOS are:
• Fundamental research contributions into key knowledge areas and interdisciplinary fields
of autonomous marine operations. Contributions will range from lower- to high-level
autonomy, and will be leading to high-qJality research publications, methods, and
demonstrators.
• Knowledge and competence dissemination through the training of minimum 60 PhD
candidates, 20 postdocs, 200 MSc candidates.
AMOS will build on the knowledge developed at NTNU and other Norwegian research
groups, supplemented by an international neliwork of leading researchers committed to
support training of young researchers and development of methods, models and tools.
Additional partners will be needed to contr bute to tasks proposed in the long-term
perspective of AMOS research program.
