To illustrate, researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and the Senseable City Lab have been building the first-ever fleet of autonomous boats for the City of Amsterdam.
In 2020, the researchers introduced Roboat II, a new and larger vessel to the fleet. The team, alongside the Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions, developed control and navigation algorithms to facilitate effective communication and collaboration among the boats.
New product launches by market players
Several new and existing companies in the recreational boating industry are focusing on strategic initiatives like mergers, acquisitions, and developments of innovative offerings that can meet consumer demands effectively. To illustrate, in 2021, The Arc Boat company, which comprises a team of former SpaceX rocket engineers, announced building its first commercial electric speedboat. The company reportedly raised USD 4.25 million in seed funding to develop the 24ft 475-horsepower boat that will cost nearly $300,000.
Burgeoning demand for inflatable boats
The increasing consumer preference for inflatable boats for rescue operations and short-distance travel is driving the industry growth. The demand for these boats is being largely impelled by the increasing prevalence of natural calamities, vessel catastrophes, and refinery accidents. In addition, the growing emphasis of government authorities on the preventive measures to control drowning is further increasing the adoption of inflatable boats in the nautical tourism sector.
