| Summary |
"This covers the development of autonomous shipping towards a more human-centred approach, placing greater importance on human factors and human-centred design. Combining insight from experts in the industry and academia, it discusses the initial enthusiasm for rapid development of unmanned ships and the eventual shift to a more measured view as cumulative experience revealed the limitations, risks, and lack of a generic business case. This book uniquely covers the resulting focus on more realistic growth of automation to augment humans in maritime operations. It suits practitioners working in the field of autonomous shipping, as well as researchers and graduate students in the area"-- Provided by publisher |
