• A Bayesian Approach to Risk-Based Autonomy, with Applications to Contact-Based Drone Inspections 

      Rothmund, Sverre Velten; Thieme, Christoph Alexander; Utne, Ingrid Bouwer; Johansen, Tor Arne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Enabling higher levels of autonomy while ensuring safety requires an increased ability to identify and handle internal faults and unforeseen changes in the environment. This article presents an approach to improve this ...
    • Real-Time Marine Vessel and Power Plant Simulation 

      Bø, Torstein Ingebrigtsen; Johansen, Tor Arne; Dahl, Andreas Reason; Rejani Miyazaki, Michel; Pedersen, Eilif; Rokseth, Børge; Skjetne, Roger; Sørensen, Asgeir Johan; Thorat, Laxminarayan; Utne, Ingrid Bouwer; Yum, Koosup; Mathiesen, Eirik (Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      In this paper, we present a system simulator of a marine vessel and power plant which contains the mechanical system with diesel engines, propellers, steering gear, and thrusters; the electrical system with generators, ...
    • Risk-aware decision-making and control of autonomous ships 

      Blindheim, Simon Vinding (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2023:200, Doctoral thesis, 2023)
      Autonomous agents able to operate without human supervision require decision making capabilities that predict outcomes based on internal and external models, sensors and data. However, research on the topic of incorporating ...
    • Risk-based supervisory control for autonomous ship navigation 

      Blindheim, Simon André Johnsen; Johansen, Tor Arne; Utne, Ingrid Bouwer (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      This paper proposes a novel method to transform the results of qualitative risk analysis into a numeric optimal control problem for autonomous ship navigation. Today, making autonomous high-level decisions replacing a crew ...
    • A systems approach to hazard identification for solar-powered and wave-propelled unmanned surface vehicle 

      Kristensen, Susanna Dybwad; Dallolio, Alberto; Utne, Ingrid Bouwer (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Decarbonization is a trend in the maritime industry and may include the use of alternative energy sources on ships. At the same time, autonomous ships are under development. In the future, the two technologies may be ...
