A knowledge-free path planning approach for smart ships based on reinforcement learning
TL;DR: A path planning and manipulating approach based on Q-learning, which can drive a cargo ship by itself without requiring any input from human experiences is proposed, which is more effective in self-learning and continuous optimisation, and therefore closer to human manoeuvring.

A potential field approach for reactive navigation of autonomous sailboats
TL;DR: A new reactive navigation approach, based on artificial potential fields, that addresses the uncontrollable and partially unpredictable nature of thrust forces and the complex kinematics of sailboats simultaneously is proposed.

Continuous Monitoring of Water Quality Using Portable and Low-Cost Approaches
TL;DR: Simulation studies show that two different portable and low-cost approaches for continuous monitoring of water quality: miniboats loaded with sondes with probes and wireless sensor network- (WSN-) based monitoring system can be used to monitor water quality at drinking water reservoirs such as dams and holding ponds.
