Conclusion and future trends.Autonomous ships, like autonomous cars, can guide themselves without human conduction. AI and the future of computers taking over the art of driving is now our reality. The autonomous ship is a vessel that can operate fully on its own, without a crew, and is equipped with software to manage its movements. The interest in this field is growing rapidly with conferences dedicated to this specific technology. Forbes has stated that autonomous ships increase efficiency, improve safety, and relieve humans from unsafe and repetitive tasks.Electrical engineering, autonomous communication, transportation engineering, marine engineering.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Hsin-Hung Cheng received both B.S. degree in Marine Engineering in 2002 and M.S. degree in Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering from National Taiwan Ocean University, Taiwan, in 2005, where he studied micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), maritime engineering and the optics field. In 2007, he assisted the Research Laboratories of DustBuster in the Institute of Earth Sciences at Academia Sinica, Taiwan, which involved TOF-SIMS mass spectrometer manufacturing for astronomy research. He received his Ph.D. degree in the Department of Engineering Science and Ocean Engineering at National Taiwan University, Taiwan, in 2013.His research focuses on biosensor applications of various spectroscopic, nano-micro-electro-mechanical systems (NEMS/MEMS) fabrication techniques including plasmonic, SERS, solar energy, and near-field optics. From 2013 to 2016, he was Assistant Professor in Department of Marine Engineering of Taipei College of Maritime Technology. In 2016, he passed the National Senior and Junior Examination in Marine Engineering. He has joined the faculty of Ministry of Transportation and Communication(MOTC), Taiwan, starting as an Associate Technician Specialist in Maritime and Port Bureau. In 2018, he has started as an Assistant/Associate Researcher in Institute of Transportation, MOTC. His work and research focuses on maritime policy and management, maritime safety including marine engineering and unmanned ship engineering.Title from PDF title page (viewed on November 1, 2023).
