HD Hyundai’s Avikus to host demonstrations of its soon-to-be-commercialized autonomous navigation solutions for leisure boats at FLIBS 2022

Avikus Autonomous Navigation

Oct 24, 2022

AVIKUS, HD Hyundai’s autonomous navigation in-house start-up, on October 5th, announced its plans to participate in the 2022 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS), the world’s largest in-water boat show, to be held October 26 – 30, 2022 in the yachting capital of the world. The company will introduce and showcase ‘Neuboat’, an autonomous phase-2 navigation solution for leisure boats leveraging the power of the Avikus Navigation Assistant System (NAS) and Docking Assistant System (DAS).

Avikus NAS allows a boat to recognize and assess on-the-water situations in real-time and without human intervention through deep learning and sensor fusion algorithms. As this data is processed, NAS creates and maintains an optimal route for safe autonomous navigation, allowing boaters to enjoy their time on the water without the stress of vessel operation. If desired, the system allows users to experience the autonomous navigation process through its Augmented Reality (AR) screen, which indicates risk level using different color informational boxes. For convenience, boaters can also control navigation from anywhere on board the boat with a mobile device.

Avikus DAS technology applies an integrated cognitive system allowing a boat to dock by itself. Docking can be one of the most difficult driving skills for new and even seasoned boaters and is recognized as high-risk for accidents. Using the Avikus 3D surround view system and collision warning alarm, included with the solution, users can effortlessly cope with all situations that may occur while docking.

At the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, in the Avikus booth #627, located in Bahia Mar Yachting Center’s Navy Zone, visitors can experience the company’s autonomous navigation and docking solutions, and inspect the hardware components such as the computer system, camera and display that make the autonomous navigation possible.

About a month ago, I traveled to Charlevoix, MI for a special press event to introduce the H9 to a small group of journalists. The water and the weather were a bit cool but the sun was out and Lake Charlevoix was calm and the Four Winns H9 was very impressive. This is a 29-foot 11-inch luxury day boat with a 9- foot 2-inch beam and it features a fabulous expansive flat floor all the way from the bow rider area to the transom and the swim platform.
