Abstract
The development of Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) has been impelled in recent decades by oceanographic and military applications. USVs are ideally suited to perform routine tasks in port environments - such as collecting bathymetry data - and can act as a platform to develop new applications for the port of the future. This paper elaborates possible robotic service concepts for a port environment and describes the construction of a demonstration vehicle as a modular platform as well as the integration of the necessary software infrastructure in order to show the complete service pipeline. A key component of the development is the involvement of practitioners and potential end users from the port authority of Europe's 3rd largest seaport- the port of Hamburg.
