Today we are showing you the final short video with scenes from the MAGPIE project. In this video, the Letitia is no longer following the trajectory of the trackpilot, but is already being controlled by the argoPositionPilot. The planned docking maneuver in the Dokhaven is already visible.

The video shows how a potential collision situation with the vessel ahead, “Autena Explorer”, is detected and assessed. The calculated collision zone is highlighted in red. The argoTrackPilot then performs the required overtaking maneuver completely autonomously.

We can see how the argoPositionPilot pushes the vessel away from the quay and guides it towards the planned trajectory (blue). By the end of the video, the vessel has successfully aligned itself with and positioned itself on the track. The argoPositionPilot then hands over control to the argoTrackPilot.

🚢 MAGPIE INSIGHTS – Teil 1: Trajektorienplanung In den kommenden Tagen geben wir Einblicke in die verschiedenen Bereiche, die im Rahmen von MAGPIE demonstriert wurden. Zu Beginn wurde der Zielort im argoRadarPilot ausgewählt. Daraufhin wurde vollautomatisch eine komplette Trajektorie vom Startpunkt zum Ziel geplant. Das Video zeigt, wie eine so hochkomplexe Aufgabe in wenigen Sekunden…

We're just one step away from tomorrow's final demonstration! What have our colleagues been working on? Today, extensive tests were carried out on board MS Letitia along the route from Amaliahaven to Waalhaven, including autonomous docking and undocking – and the results have been excellent! Now it's all about fine-tuning the system and making the final adjustments.
