AUTOASSESS Open Call #2 for Tech Innovations
The core innovation of AUTOASSESS focuses on a fully autonomous inspection of ballast tanks and cargo holds of vessels. AUTOASSESS employs an open approach to innovation that relies upon using the entire value chain of the consortium and external stakeholders to assess the best ideas, regardless of their origin.
The AUTOASSESS Open Call #2 for Tech Innovations invites startups and SMEs to present their innovative technology solutions that are aligned with the project’s use cases and answer to project defined challenges.
There are defined seven specific challenges and one open challenge:
- Challenge 1 - SOT-aided NDT Thickness Tool for a Fully-Actuated Aerial Robot
- Challenge 2- Remote Inspection Support and Augmented Collaboration between Onboard and Shore-Based Experts
- Challenge 3 - Autonomous Patrolling Concepts and Early Event Detection Frameworks for Engine Rooms
- Challenge 4 - Vessel Structural Condition Analysis and Hotspot Identification via Digital Representation and Modelling for Robotic Inspection
- Challenge 5 - Combined Qualitative and Quantitative Assessment of Structural Integrity Using Imaging and Measurements
- Challenge 6 - NDT-MINI: Ultra-Lightweight, low power (<10W) ACFM/ECT Sensor for Autonomous Drone Inspection
- Challenge 7 - Graphical User Interface for UAS
