Now that the Mayflower Autonomous Ship (MAS) has successfully completed its maiden voyage across the Atlantic, it's time to check in with Brett Phaneuf, Managing Director of the Mayflower Autonomous Ship Project and Edward Milne, Technical Sales Manager for the EMEA region at Hexagon’s Autonomy and Positioning division. They provide fascinating details about the voyage itself, share parallels with the original Mayflower voyage in 1620, and they also discuss what’s next, both for the MAS project as well as the marine research industry at large. Brett and Eddie also discuss how data from autonomous marine vessels is becoming more accessible, accurate and reliable and even wax philosophical about a not-so-distant future when fleets of autonomous vessels will be linked together in an AI-driven sea-faring network, accomplishing common research goals.
