The maritime domain is of an enormous interest to our society, from the economy to health, and security. Operating in the maritime domain, on the other hand, is dangerous, expensive, and most of the time at low execution speed. Unmanned systems are in many ways suited to such environments, but the successful realisation of maritime autonomous vehicles requires an overarching design and development cycle, starting from design and modelling of unmanned systems, to control and implementation exhibiting a reliable and explainable level of autonomy and self-organization amidst the sudden and possibly extreme disturbances occurring in the uncertain and dynamic maritime environment.
The aim of Maritime Autonomous Vehicles: Methods and measurements is to embed design and practice in the digitalisation process, which is currently revolutionising engineering approaches in many domains, governed by model-based engineering paradigms and digital twin concepts. The coverage of the book connects design processes, good practices and methods, specifying their interfaces and standards for real-world measurements.
Written by a team of top-class international contributors, brought together by an expert in the field, this book provides an entry point into the hot topic of maritime autonomous vehicles - methods and measurements. The reader is invited to take a guided tour of the state-of-the-art in maritime robotics, and highlighted topics in coordination, communication, control, biomimetic design, and the real-world application of artificial intelligence tool chains for underwater datasets. The book presents a sophisticated simulation or surrogate model framework capable of addressing the necessity of maintaining holistically the interrelation of the many details real maritime environments need to have in order to be accurately described.
This thoughtful and authoritative work is intended to be a valuable source of information for researchers and engineers from academia and industry, working in the fields of navigation, robotics, radar, and of course maritime autonomous vehicles.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
