Aa vessel coordination layer (202) is implemented on the autonomous vessels (101) and controls transitions between operational modes of the autonomous vessels (101). A vessel execution layer (203) implemented on the autonomous vessels (101) includes sensors (301), a perception, planning, and execution module (302) and actuators (303), uses the actuators (303) to control the motion of the autonomous vessel (101) in accordance with a mission description, received sensor data, and operational mode instructions from the operational mode management module (402). A corresponding method is also disclosed."
The patent application was internationally filed on Oct. 10, 2023, under International application No.PCT/NO2023/060068.
