Study Notes
Autonomy Levels
- The purpose of autonomy levels is to classify automation systems based on their degree of independence from human intervention.
Automation Classification Schemes
- Many proposed schemes classify automation levels into 4-6 levels, including those proposed by Sheridan.
Sheridan's Control Modes
- Many automation classification schemes include levels 1-10 from Sheridan's control modes, which range from manual control to full automation.
Autonomy Level 1 - Smart (ABS Guide)
- Autonomy level 1 - Smart is characterized by the system's ability to perform simple tasks autonomously, but still requires human supervision and intervention.
Function Categories in Marine Vessels
- Environment-related activities in marine vessels fall under the Function Category "Protection of the Environment".
Autonomy Levels 2-3 Comparison
- The main difference between Autonomy level 2 - Semi-Autonomy and Autonomy level 3 - Full Autonomy is that level 2 requires human approval for execution, whereas level 3 does not.
AL0-AL1 Comparison
- A differentiating factor for levels AL0 and AL1 is that AL0 requires constant human oversight, whereas AL1 allows for intermittent human intervention.
Human Approval Requirement
- Levels 2 and 3 are differentiated based on whether human approval is necessary for execution or not.
SC-A Levels Autonomy
- SC (Supervised Control) and A (Autonomous Control) levels are differentiated by the level of autonomy, with A having more independence from human intervention.
Automation Levels and Lloyd's Register Guidance
- The distinctions in automation levels often overlap with Lloyd's Register guidance, which provides a framework for classifying and understanding automation systems.
