  "articleBody" : "Les saken på norsk As part of the Nordic Five Tech – Ocean Autonomy Tour, participants from the Nordic region’s leading technical universities had the opportunity to experience Trondheim’s leading position in autonomous maritime technology. One of the many highlights of the full-day tour was the visit to Nyhavna, where the Ocean Autonomy Cluster and NTNU presented some of the most groundbreaking initiatives in autonomy and maritime innovation. Alexey Gusev, PhD Candidate, NTNU Department of Design. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Ocean Autonomy Cluster From Laboratories to Fjords: A Deep Dive into NTNU's Autonomous Focus After a morning session at the new Norwegian Ocean Technology Centre at Tyholt, the group proceeded to Nyhavna to explore NTNU’s test and development facilities for autonomous systems. Here, participants got an insight into ongoing research projects such as SFI AutoShip, as well as a demonstration at the Shore Control Lab, where remotely operated and autonomous vessels are monitored and controlled in real time. Associate Professor Morten Breivik guided the participants through the labs and explained how the research community at Nyhavna works closely with industry and public sector stakeholders to realize the future of autonomous shipping. Morten Breivik, associate professor, NTNU Department of Engineering Cybernetics. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Ocean Autonomy Cluster. PROMETHEUS: A Glimpse of Real-Time Human–Machine Collaboration One of the day’s most compelling moments was the live demonstration of PROMETHEUS, a new prototype for teleoperation of autonomous ferries. Developed as part of the NTNU-led Autoteaming project, PROMETHEUS leverages 5G, real-time video, tactile feedback, and augmented decision support to enable remote, intuitive vessel control. The system was successfully tested with the milliAmpere1 ferry, which responded smoothly to commands from the Shore Control Lab. But beyond the technical achievement, the demonstration left a deeper impression on the attendees. “This isn’t about replacing people,” Morten Breivik says. “It’s about designing seamless collaboration between humans and machines – in real time. We believe we’ve glimpsed something essential: autonomy that resonates with human intention and intuition.” The team has begun exploring the idea of EPIC AID – Emotional Predictive Integrated Control – as a new paradigm for intuitive, responsive human–machine interaction. Demonstration of autonomus ferry milliAmpere1. Andreas Gudahl Tufte is onboard as safety personnel. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Ocean Autonomy Cluster Dedicated researchers behind the technology Behind PROMETHEUS is a dedicated team led by PhD candidates Alexey Gusev and Andreas Gudahl Tufte, both part of the Autoteaming project at NTNU. Alexey, who brings a strong technical background, has been responsible for the development of the user interface, system architecture, and integration with 5G communication. Andreas has focused on the autonomy functionality and has also developed the intelligent control system that dynamically adapts to operator input in real time. In addition, a group of skilled bachelor’s and master’s students have contributed significantly to the development and execution of the demonstration. “We’re truly impressed by these guys and the team around them,” says project lead Morten Breivik. “They’ve delivered on a level that is both technically advanced and practically executable. Their efforts over the past few weeks have been crucial to making today’s demonstration possible.” Breivik emphasizes that this is not about technology for its own sake: – Solutions like this can ultimately make working at sea safer, reduce the need for staffing in hazardous areas, and offer more flexible transport options in cities and ports where autonomous ferries and ships are here to stay. Alexey Gusev, PhD Candidate, NTNU Department of Design. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Ocean Autonomy Cluster Both PhD candidates describe the development of PROMETHEUS as more than just a tech project. – Our goal was never just to control the vessel remotely – it was to feel the vessel respond, in real time. And that’s exactly what we experienced at Nyhavna, said Alexey Gusev. – Building Prometheus wasn’t just about engineering – it was about listening. To the system. To the environment. And to the people around it. – I believe we’re closer than ever to autonomy that doesn't just act – but aligns. Andreas Tufte added: – Autoteaming is about trust – not replacement. The goal is to create systems that invite the human back into the loop, not push them out. – This isn’t the future. This is happening now. And what we saw at Nyhavna is just the beginning. – It felt like Prometheus came alive when it mattered. And when you’re surrounded by people who care – that’s when tech becomes more than tech. Roberto Galeazzi. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset/Ocean Autonomy Cluster. Roberto Galeazzi, Professor at the Technical University of Denmark, commented on the visit: It’s very impressive to see how fast Norway is moving in the development, implementation, and deployment of this technology. It is inspiring for us, as we are also looking in the same direction. We see many opportunities for joint Nordic partnerships that can strengthen development across regions. Ocean Autonomy as a National Driving Force Next, cluster manager Frode Halvorsen presented how the Ocean Autonomy Cluster is working to connect research environments, technology companies, and public actors to strengthen Norway's position as a leader in autonomous maritime technology. – Trondheim has unique conditions for driving this development, both through NTNU, SINTEF, and the close collaboration with the private sector. Nyhavna has become a key hub for innovation and testing, said Halvorsen in his presentation. Galeazzi also highlighted the importance of collaboration across institutions: We are already collaborating with some of the environments here, and we see even greater potential to consolidate and harvest more of what this technology can offer – from ocean observation and environmental monitoring to civil security and defense. Frode Halvorsen, manager of Ocean Autonomy Cluster. Photo: Lars Bugge Aarset Strong Interest from the Nordic Universities The participants were representing universities from Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland. Many expressed great interest in how Trondheim has managed to combine and connect resources in education, research, and industry in a comprehensive effort to push forward maritime technology. Håvard Wibe, Senior Advisor at NTNU, said: It’s important for us that professionals see what Trondheim has to offer. We hope this visit will increase interest in our research environments and perhaps help create more international contacts and activities. The event concluded with a visit to Fjordlab, NTNU’s underwater technology testing facility in the Trondheim fjord – offering a final glimpse into the interdisciplinary and hands-on work that defines the region’s maritime technology initiative.

Missing on the picture: Martin Ludvigsen, Celil Yilmaz, Mahmoud Hussein Abdelrazik Hassan,Elena Marie Kirchman In a new project led by PhD candidate Leonard Florian Tom Günzel at NTNU’s Department of Marine Technology, the team is taking the first steps toward making Blueye Robotics’ popular mini-ROV fully autonomous. The goal is to cut the tether – literally – and enable the vehicle to operate independently from a docking station on the seafloor for weeks at a time. “We’re working to turn Blueye into an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) that can reside on the seafloor for extended periods,” says Günzel. “After months of simulations and pool testing, we’ve now completed our first field deployment in the Trondheim Fjord – with great success.” Infrastructure and navigation for resident operations Together with PhD colleagues Ambjørn Waldum and Gabriele Kasparaviciute and a team of eight master's students, the project team has developed both the vehicle and the infrastructure needed to support long-term autonomous missions. The AUV is designed to navigate distances of 100–500 meters back to a docking station located on the seabed. To find its way, it uses an Ultra-short baseline (USBL) transducer that sends signals to a modem on the AUV. The modem pings back and receives its position in return, enabling precise real-time navigation. As the AUV approaches the station, it can either pause in front of an optical modem for communication or proceed directly to dock. The station provides inductive charging and high-bandwidth data transfer. This enables operators to update mission parameters, retrieve sensor data, and issue new instructions – all without the AUV having to surface. In effect, this allows the vehicle to become a resident AUV, operating continuously from a fixed subsea base without human intervention between missions. The recent deployment was carried out in collaboration with NTNU’s larger ROV, Minerva, and marks a major step forward for compact subsea vehicles. The project is part of the broader SAFEGUARD initiative and builds on years of research and development at NTNU, where also NTNU VISTA Centre for Autonomous Robotic Operations Subsea - CAROS has been an important infrastructure provider.

  "articleBody" : "Read article in Norwegian Navigating at sea comes with constant challenges, as captains and navigators must process large amounts of real-time information from numerous onboard instruments. Situational awareness is crucial for avoiding accidents, yet it’s easy to become distracted by lighting conditions and the environment. A new technology developed at NTNU aims to enhance safety by offering navigators a more intuitive way to perceive information. The Maritime Head-Up Display (M-HUD) project originates from the MIDAS initiative and is now moving toward commercialization. Maritime Head-Up Display (M-HUD) is a LED-based visual technology designed to improve situational awareness for maritime navigators. The system displays critical information directly within the navigator’s field of view, allowing visual cues for navigation points and surrounding objects without requiring the navigator to look away from the environment. This helps maintain focus while receiving real-time data. M-HUD reduces cognitive load by presenting information in a non-distracting way and helps navigators detect potentially critical objects—like other vessels or navigational markers—more easily. Maritime Head-Up Display, illustration From research concept to realization M-HUD has its roots in the MIDAS project – “Humans in future ocean operations” – a capacity-building initiative focused on the human role in increasingly autonomous and automated maritime environments. The MIDAS initiative, involving academia, research, and industry, has developed solutions that strengthen the innovation capacity of key Norwegian players and contribute to the development and export of maritime autonomy technologies. NTNU has been a key partner in the project, and M-HUD is a direct result of the interdisciplinary efforts involved. Maritime Head-Up Display, illustration Background and inspiration: From the Armed Forces to NTNU The story behind M-HUD began in the early 2000s, when Jon Bernhard Høstmark, one of the inventors of M-HUD, was working in the Norwegian Armed Forces. As part of a team operating the Combat Boat 90—capable of navigating at speeds of up to 45 knots—Høstmark experienced the challenge of high-speed navigation in unfamiliar waters. Jon Bernhard Høstmark Høstmark quickly realized that in these situations, maintaining situational awareness was difficult. Much of the navigation was visual, through the windows, and this became increasingly demanding at high speed. “We relied heavily on our eyes to orient ourselves, and it was easy to get distracted. I saw a need for technology that could assist navigators without distracting them,” Høstmark explains. After further work on navigation systems at Kongsberg and Kongsberg Automotive, Høstmark became an adjunct professor at NTNU. There, he met Ole Andreas Alsos, an expert in human-computer interaction. Together, they began exploring how technology could enhance situational awareness without distracting the navigator. “We started developing various ideas, thinking about how to present relevant information in a simple and intuitive way, without interfering with the navigator’s focus,” Alsos says. The technology behind M-HUD M-HUD is designed to present key information directly in the navigator’s field of view—eliminating the need to look down at instruments. For example, the system can display the position of a lighthouse or another vessel relative to the navigator, making it easier to identify important objects in real time. The system is based on simple mathematics and technology that projects the object’s relative direction and distance near the window, enabling fast and precise orientation without shifting focus to screens. Using simulators in Ålesund, the technology was tested in a lab environment—with impressive results. Students participating in the trials identified twice as many objects, spent less time per object, and reported significantly lower cognitive load compared to traditional navigation tools. “The results confirmed we were on the right track. With solid research data, we had something tangible to build on, laying the foundation for commercialization,” Høstmark says. Image caption: Maritime Head-Up Display, illustration A case example: The Helge Ingstad accident One example of how M-HUD could make a difference is the Helge Ingstad accident. One of the critical mistakes in that incident involved misinterpreting the deck lights of the oil tanker TS Sola. The captain of Helge Ingstad mistook them for the lights of the Sture Terminal near Bergen. This inability to distinguish the lights led to a misjudgment of the situation. At the core of the incident: a lack of situational awareness. Situational awareness is vital when navigating in unfamiliar waters, and its absence is a leading cause of serious maritime accidents. Fatigue, poor communication, inadequate procedures, and lack of compliance with safety regulations on the bridge are additional risk factors. These kinds of distractions and misjudgments can prevent timely reactions to potential hazards. Technology like M-HUD can help reduce such incidents by providing immediate visual cues about objects and dangers in real time. This enables better understanding and decision-making in critical situations—potentially preventing collisions. Jens Nygaard, NTNU Technology Transfer Commercial testing and the road ahead To ensure real-world functionality, M-HUD has been tested on several commercial vessels, including express boats in Trondheim. The system was installed in under an hour and proved easy to integrate with existing navigation systems. Feedback from captains and crews has been very positive, and the project team is now adapting the technology for different vessel types. “Ease of implementation and positive user feedback are among the most important indicators that this technology could have a major impact on maritime safety. We look forward to licensing the technology and developing it further with industrial partners,” says Jens Nygaard at NTNU Technology Transfer. NTNU Technology Transfer is now in the process of licensing the technology to an industry partner for further commercialization. With its innovative approach and ability to improve maritime safety, M-HUD has the potential to become a standard solution for future maritime operations. M-HUD represents a significant step toward a safer and more efficient maritime industry. By enhancing situational awareness and reducing the risk of human error, this technology can help prevent serious accidents at sea.

  "articleBody" : "The student group Navier USN from University of South-Eastern Norway has won the Njord Challenge 2024, the World Championship for students in autonomous ships. The competition is organized by and for students in Trondheim. Participants develop systems to control autonomous ships, which can operate without human intervention. After two intense weeks of fine-tuning, coding, hard teamwork, and plenty of coffee, the USN students were finally able to celebrate their victory. – Everyone gave a hundred percent in the competition, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. The close and strong collaboration with the university provides us students with a solid and safe platform to challenge ourselves even more in our studies, say project leaders Sara Selnes, Aleksander Nordmo, and Markus Marstad. They are especially proud of the victory since Navier USN had the fewest students and the lowest educational level, bachelor's, among the participants. In the competition, the USN students generously shared their entire dataset with all the competing teams. – For us, sharing knowledge to achieve development is a core value, explains Sara. Navier USN consists of a group of students from engineering, maritime studies, IT, economics, and management, all passionate about autonomous technology. The students build and program small autonomous sea drones, with Kongsberg Defence &amp; Aerospace as the main sponsor and several industry partners.
