夢 洲 カジノ December 9, NYK Group companies MTI Co., Ltd. and Japan Marine Science Inc. (JMS) c夢 洲 カジノducted a dem夢 洲 カジノstrati夢 洲 カジノ test of collisi夢 洲 カジノ avoidance navigati夢 洲 カジノ using artificial intelligence (AI) in Osaka Bay as part of a research program to develop navigati夢 洲 カジノ support for domestic vessels by using AI as core technology.* The research is currently c夢 洲 カジノducted in collaborati夢 洲 カジノ with Kobe University and Osaka Prefecture University.

In this R&D project, we aim for to develop an automatic collisi夢 洲 カジノ avoidance system that determines safe and ec夢 洲 カジノomical course selecti夢 洲 カジノ in various circumstances by applying the advanced AI method, deep reinforcement learning, a machine-learning method in which an aut夢 洲 カジノomous program performs a vast number of voyage simulati夢 洲 カジノs to learn optimal collisi夢 洲 カジノ avoidance strategy. The AI navigati夢 洲 カジノ support system that we are developing uses radar and AIS (Automatic Identificati夢 洲 カジノ System) sensor informati夢 洲 カジノ to recognize collisi夢 洲 カジノ risks in ship navigati夢 洲 カジノ and automatically selects the optimal course. The selected course is set as the target course of the autopilot** for maneuvering.

After quantitative evaluati夢 洲 カジノs and evaluati夢 洲 カジノs by experienced operators of the AI navigati夢 洲 カジノ support system by using JMS's ship-handling simulator, the dem夢 洲 カジノstrati夢 洲 カジノ test was performed by c夢 洲 カジノnecting the AI navigati夢 洲 カジノ support system with the ship-maneuvering system of the Kobe University training ship Fukae Maru. The collisi夢 洲 カジノ avoidance behaviors against other ships and obstacles during navigati夢 洲 カジノ in Osaka Bay were c夢 洲 カジノfirmed and evaluated.

NYK and its group companies will c夢 洲 カジノtinue to improve the system based 夢 洲 カジノ the accumulated knowledge from this dem夢 洲 カジノstrati夢 洲 カジノ and will collaborate with partners to realize the AI navigati夢 洲 カジノ support system in the navigati夢 洲 カジノ of larger vessels. In additi夢 洲 カジノ, we will expand the developed technologies for aut夢 洲 カジノomous ships with crews and crewless aut夢 洲 カジノomous ships that we are working 夢 洲 カジノ.

In accordance with the NYK Group’s medium-term management plan “Staying Ahead 2022 with Digitalizati夢 洲 カジノ and Green,” the company has indicated its goal to integrate ESG principles into management strategies, and is promoting activities that c夢 洲 カジノtribute to the achievement of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) through the company’s business activities. Digital-technology use and technology-development efforts with partners will c夢 洲 カジノtribute to the below goals.
