Researchers at IIT Madras have developed SEANAV, a real-time digital twin that simulates maritime conditions to test autonomous navigation systems and train operators without exposing vessels to the risks of at-sea trials.
Researchers at the Department of Ocean Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras have developed SEANAV, a digital-twin platform that recreates real maritime conditions in a virtual environment. The system can simulate waves, weather, vessel movements, sensors and shipping traffic, allowing autonomous navigation systems to be tested before deployment at sea.
