The MUSIT Project enhances trajectory data analysis by integrating multiple sensor sources, such as vessel and vehicle tracking. It uses AI and spatio-temporal methods to reconstruct incomplete data and improve monitoring accuracy. Funded by the EU’s Horizon-MSCA program, it promotes international research collaboration.
Announcing the IEEE Symposium on Maritime Informatics & Robotics 26 & 27 June 2025, Ermoupolis, Syros, Greece! Find out more here: https://maritimesymposium.eu
Marine robots are seen as game changers for marine science, deep-sea and polar exploration, environmental monitoring, oceanographic research , but also shipping. They offer the potential of exploring the oceans at depths currently out of reach, while remaining at sea for several months and continuously recording data and collecting samples. Their applications range from inspecting submerged structures and laying cables, to constantly transporting goods in a greener and safer way.
Join us for a summer of learning, innovation, and adventure. Dive into the future of maritime technology and set sail on a journey of discovery and professional growth. 1 – 6 September 2024, SmartMove Lab, Syros Island, Greece.
The work “A Digital Twin for Maritime Situational Awareness”, where members of our lab took part in, was presented in the 10th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Big Data Computing, Applications and Technologies (BDCAT2023) from December 4 to 7 in Taormina, Italy.
The poster demonstrated a framework for maritime situational awareness, capable of monitoring current vessel movement and predict future behavior though complex data-driven methods, at a global scale.
On Wednesday, July 12th, the 1st RoBoat Race (Autonomous Robotic Vessels Competition) took place successfully in Syros. The competition was organized by the SmartMove laboratory of the University of the Aegean, with the support of the Nautical Club of Syros, the Hellenic Institute of Nautical Technology, the Municipality of Syros-Hermoupolis, UNESCO, the IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society and the European Commission
While building their solution for the Aegean Ro-Boat Races this summer, the student team of the Department of Product & Systems Design Engineering, are experimenting with the positioning and functionality of the boat thrusters. The selected positioning should offer the maximum velocity, while also having the minimum negative impact on the balance and offer the necessary maneuverability of the vessel.
Students from the Department of Product & Systems Design Engineering and members of the Smart MOVE Lab in Syros are working on the design and development of their prototype autonomous boat, which will compete in the Aegean Ro-Boat Races this summer. The boat is being built completely from scratch!
Workshop on Marine Technology. Disseminating research results and discussing open challenges.
Dimitris Zissis will be the keynote speaker at the 3rd IEEE Intl. Maritime Big Data Workshop (MBDW 2022) collocated with the 23rd IEEE Intl. Conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM 2022) June 6, 2022, Paphos, Cyprus. Talk Abstract: The analysis of trajectories created by moving objects (such as ships, cars and planes) exhibits unique challenges, while […]
