AUTOFLEX D4.3: Uncrewed Vessel Basic Design – Oskar 2.0
Deliverable D4.3 presents the basic design and hydrodynamic optimization of the AUTOFLEX vessel, building on the concept from Task 4.2 to create “Oskar 2.0” – a refined, energy-efficient design validated through numerical simulations and physical model testing. Design Development and Optimization Methodology The design evolved through a multi-stage optimization process: Hull Form Optimization involved two […]
Mission Exchange Model

The Mission Exchange Model: Advancements in Autonomous Vessel Operations The Mission Exchange Model (MEZ) represents a significant advancement in the operation of autonomous vessels on inland waterways (IWW), developed as part of the AUTOFLEX project. This model establishes a structured communication framework between the Remote Operation Centre (ROC) and the onboard Autonomous Navigation System (ANS), […]
OtterX Demonstration
Succesful Demonstration by partner Maritime Robotics Maritime Robotics has reached an important milestone in autonomous vessel development. The Otter X successfully executed an autonomous mission through the Trondheim canal, including passage through the Skansen Bridge—completely uncrewed and managed remotely from our ROC. The operation validated the AUTOFLEX autonomy control loop: mission planning, route execution, live […]
SeaGuard Tool

Introducing SeaGuard, a cutting-edge software tool developed by NTUA as part of the AUTOFLEX project. Designed to ensure the safety, security, and resilience of autonomous vessels, SeaGuard offers real-time monitoring and risk management for automated fleets, particularly in confined environments like inland waterways.
