总部位于德国的海底服务供应商Subsea (Subsea Europe Services，SES) 开设新的研发中心，致力于开发集成、自主和数字技术。新的研究设施占地面积100平方米，位于该公司罗斯托克海洋技术园区的建筑内，将专注于开发新的自主水面和水下解决方案，推动海洋数据数字化。它还将用于自主平台功能的进一步开发，包括利用自动水面船舶（ASV）进行海洋调查以及利用“IKANBILIS”号悬停式自主水下航行器（HAUV）进行水下检查。此外，该公司的研发团队还将专注于开发特定应用的人工智能自主控制系统，释放群体调查的潜力，包括多种自主航行载具以及能够管理整个作业的载人甚至是无人母船。

    Germany-headquartered Subsea Europe Services (SES) has opened a new research and development (R&D) center dedicated to the development of new integrated, autonomous and digital technologies. The new facility, located at the company’s premises in the Ocean Technology Campus Rostock, will focus on the development of new autonomous surface and underwater solutions, as well as the digitalization of marine data. It measures 100 m and will be used for further development of autonomous platform capabilities for marine surveys with the Autonomous Surveyor autonomous surface vessel (ASV) and underwater inspection, with the A.IKANBILIS hovering autonomous underwater vehicle (HAUV).The company’s R&D team will also focus on creating new application-specific AI-powered autonomous control systems and unlocking the potential of swarm surveys featuring multiple autonomous vehicles with crewed or uncrewed motherships capable of managing the entire operation. 

autonomous adj. 自治的；自主的 

美 \ɔˈtɑnəməs\   英 \ɔːˈtɒnəməs\

“auto-”意为“自己”，“-nom- ”意为“法则”，加上形容词词尾“ous”，构成 “autonomous”，字面意思为“自己的规则、法则”，即“自治的，自主的”。

autonomous surface vessel (ASV) n. 自主水面航行器、无人驾驶船舶

Tips：自主水面航行器 (ASV) 是一种综合了人工智能、传感器、新材料、新工艺，具有自主规划、自主航行能力, 并可自主完成环境感知、目标探测等任务的小型海洋平台，可承担情报收集、监视侦察、扫雷、反潜、精确打击、搜捕、水文地理勘察、反恐、中继通信等任务。由于摆脱了缆线的束缚，它执行任务更加灵活。
