We are excited to announce the second webinar in our SADIT-MAR knowledge-sharing series! Following the successful launch of our webinar program, we continue bringing world-class expertise to our global maritime community.
The webinar "Digitalization Framework in Ship Navigation Autonomy" addresses a critical challenge in maritime digitalization: distinguishing between digital models, shadows, and true digital twins. Prof. Kınacı will present a six-degree classification system that maps the technological path from remotely operated to fully autonomous vessels, covering kinematic modeling, sensor fusion, and AI integration.
