IIT Madras just rolled out SEANAV, a super-realistic digital platform that lets future maritime pros train in lifelike ocean conditions: think waves, vessel movements, and all the tricky stuff ships face at sea.
Calibrated using a benchmark tanker vessel approximately 320 meters in length, it's built for testing and validation of autonomous maritime navigation systems.
SEANAV aligns with Sagarmala using AI
SEANAV isn't just about simulations: it blends AI, digital twins, and VR to make training feel real.
It aligns with the Government of India's Sagarmala Programme to boost port safety with AI-powered navigation.
With data from LiDAR, radar, and cameras fused together, trainees get hands-on experience with realistic sensor challenges, plus VR headsets put you right on the ship's bridge for emergency drills.
Perfect prep for anything the sea throws your way.
