Commercial Applications of Space-Enabled Robotics: Maritime and Marine

This call is part of the umbrella of “Commercial Applications of Space-Enabled Robotics” thematic call for proposals.

This Call for Proposals invites proposals for feasibility studies and demonstration projects for services that combine the use of satellite technologies and robotics in downstream services for Maritime and Marine applications.

‘Robotics’ is here defined to include physical robots, autonomous drones, machines and vehicles, and precursory solutions or those that enable these (e.g. perception and navigation systems for autonomous vehicle services, connectivity solutions to enable tele-operated robotics…).

Within the maritime and marine sectors, applications are foreseen related to port automation, offshore infrastructure operations, autonomous and teleoperated vessels, aquaculture, water quality and pollution monitoring, marine surveys, coastal surveillance, and further application areas identified within the maritime and marine domains.
