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.
Studying That Suits You

Description
Test your knowledge on the different categories of autonomous functions such as Navigation, Maneuvering, Mooring, Docking, Propulsion, and more. Explore how levels of autonomy are applied to these functions and how they are codified in autonomous notations.
