Researchers from the University of Ljubljana are co-developing smart autonomous vessels for safer seas
esearchers from the University of Ljubljana participated in the development of autonomous biomimetic underwater vehicles for underwater surveillance, monitoring, and reconnaissance, operating in groups (swarms or schools). This work is the result of the international project SABUVIS II, carried out under the auspices of the European Defence Agency (EDA). In addition to Slovenian partners, the project also involves partners from Germany, Poland, and Portugal.

The Slovenian smart box, developed at the UL FE, has returned from Antarctica
How reliable are Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) when a ship sails through the harshest conditions on Earth? This question was answered by researchers from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the University of Ljubljana, the “Jožef Stefan” Institute, and the Faculty of Maritime Studies and Transport of the University of Ljubljana. On board the Italian icebreaker Laura Bassi, they carried out a 200-day research expedition. The collected data are crucial for developing the next generations of autonomous ships.

Use of ship technology for self-maintenance of saltpan cottages
Ship technology could offer a solution for the saltpan cottages which are falling inexorably into ruin in the area of the Sečovlje saltpans. This has been determined by students of various University of Ljubljana faculties under the mentorship of Senior Lecturer Mag. Valter Suban of the University’s Faculty of Maritime Studies and Transport. They were aware of the problem of degradation in the area of the Sečovlje saltpans, so they were looking for a way for the saltpan cottages to be reconstructed and changed into sustainable self-maintaining projects.
