About the talk
Talk DescriptionPontic Dynamics develops control infrastructure and modular software for unmanned surface vessels (USVs). Founded by CEO Borislav Teberov, the company uses Human-in-the-Loop AI to protect mariners rather than replace them. Its product line includes control software, AI navigation engines, subsystem controllers, secure data loggers, and edge computing platforms. Onboard fail-safes and passive tools like the PD Sextant NG keep vessels safe during GPS spoofing and network blackouts. By providing clear audit trails for insurers and testing in designated sandboxes, Pontic Dynamics helps safely advance autonomous shipping.
Key TakeawaysHow Human-in-the-Loop AI, resilient navigation, and fail-safe technologies can enable safer, trustworthy autonomous shipping, even during GPS spoofing and connectivity loss.
