He grips a black waste bag firmly, walks to the quay and throws it into the black hatch of a compact metal boat moored at the test dock jetty next to the base of the <strong>AMS Institute in Amsterdam<\/strong>. The bag slides in and the hatch closes. The 34-year-old&#8217;s blue eyes light up: <em>&#8220;Isn&#8217;t that great?&#8221;<\/em> Ynse is the coordinator of the AMS&#8217;s Roboat project, an electrically propelled self-driving boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;You only have to tell it where it should go. It does all the rest itself,&#8221;<\/em> says Ynse while watching the water where Roboat rotates in an almost elegant way, without producing emissions. He notes that today we are at the end of a five-year learning and testing phase in which his engineering team has developed <strong>Roboat <\/strong><em>. &#8220;Of course, I&#8217;m proud,&#8221;<\/em> he says, <em>&#8220;it was hard work, a team effort.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ynse studied neuroscience, holds a master&#8217;s degree in management and entrepreneurship, and says he&#8217;s always been &#8220;crazy about boats.&#8221; An avid boater, he discovered his love for robotics at Delft Technical University. While Roboat silently moves around the test dock with his &#8220;catch&#8221;, the waste bag, Ynse &#8216;s colleagues follow everything from the dock on a laptop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the open-air laboratory of the Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions (AMS Institute), the <strong>Marineterrein Amsterdam Living Lab<\/strong>, researchers have successfully tested Roboat , a &#8220;robotic boat&#8221; at autonomous driving equipped with Torqeedo electric motors. This mobility revolution for the eco-friendly city of the future will include new ways of transporting people, goods and even waste. Very soon Roboat will be able to support the waste collection service and then transform cities all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.deutzmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/deutz_robot-galleggianti_amsterdam_2-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deutzmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/deutz_robot-galleggianti_amsterdam_2-1-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.deutzmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/deutz_robot-galleggianti_amsterdam_2-1-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.deutzmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/deutz_robot-galleggianti_amsterdam_2-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.deutzmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/deutz_robot-galleggianti_amsterdam_2-1-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.deutzmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/deutz_robot-galleggianti_amsterdam_2-1-1170x585.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.deutzmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/deutz_robot-galleggianti_amsterdam_2-1-585x293.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.deutzmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/deutz_robot-galleggianti_amsterdam_2-1.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><em><em>Roboat is still a prototype, but Amsterdam&#8217;s narrow, crowded canals are an ideal testing place for autonomous boats.<\/em><\/em><br><br><br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_combination_of_electrical_engineering_and_automation\"><\/span>The combination of electrical engineering and automation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Roboat <\/strong>is so advanced that the next phase of the project is already ready to begin: its commercialization.

Nowadays it is mainly tourists who travel along the canals for pleasure. However, as urban centers around the world become increasingly populated, city officials are rediscovering the potential of waterways as a solution for relieving road congestion. Roboat &#8216;s goal is to revive this potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone who thinks this is a distant future scenario needs to take a closer look at what is currently happening in Amsterdam. This city is a living lab of <strong>the future of electric mobility on water<\/strong> and was one of the first cities to pursue the &#8220;doughnut economy&#8221; model developed by British economist Kate Raworth. It is a model that defines the conditions for a sustainable economy in which the scope of economic activity is delimited by existing ecological and social boundaries and whose visualization resembles the shape of a donut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;In the future, autonomous e-boats will be able to solve a lot of problems in modern cities,&#8221;<\/em> says Alexander Oswald, Director of Application Engineering at <strong>Torqeedo<\/strong>. <em>\u201cThere are numerous application areas. This emission-free, space-saving technology could lead to enormous cost and time savings. Goods deliveries, public transport, and data collection are potential applications.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.deutzmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/deutz_robot-galleggianti_amsterdam_4.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deutzmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/deutz_robot-galleggianti_amsterdam_4-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"deutz robot galleggianti amsterdam\" class=\"wp-image-1478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.deutzmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/deutz_robot-galleggianti_amsterdam_4-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.deutzmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/deutz_robot-galleggianti_amsterdam_4-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.deutzmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/deutz_robot-galleggianti_amsterdam_4-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.deutzmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/deutz_robot-galleggianti_amsterdam_4-1170x585.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.deutzmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/deutz_robot-galleggianti_amsterdam_4-585x293.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.deutzmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/deutz_robot-galleggianti_amsterdam_4.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><em><em>Roboat is propelled by two Torqeedo Cruise motors that can maneuver the vessel 360\u00b0 in any direction.<\/em><br><\/em><br><br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Marieke van Doorninck<\/strong>, the deputy mayor of Amsterdam, seems absolutely determined to make her city more livable and Roboat can play a decisive role in this. Combustion-fuelled refuse collection trucks cause traffic jams in the narrow streets of the Old Town, emit polluting exhaust fumes, and damage bridges and historic buildings along the canals. <strong>Amsterdam&#8217;s infrastructure<\/strong> dates back to the 17th century and was not designed to meet the challenges of a modern city with 800,000 inhabitants and more than 20 million tourists a year. Air quality also needs to be radically improved. The results of a study commissioned by the <strong>European Public Health Alliance (EPHA)<\/strong> published in 2020, undertaken by the renowned Dutch research and consultancy institute CE Delft, have shown that even small changes in the mobility habits of a metropolis can make a big difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marieke van Doorninck , aims to institute both a circular, or donut, economy and self- sustainability. <em>\u201cThe great thing about doughnut economics is that it offers a comprehensive framework in which ecological and social goals concur,\u201d<\/em>says Marieke . <strong>From 2030, only e-boats will be allowed on the canals of Amsterdam <\/strong>and by 2050 the city wants to become self-sufficient in terms of external resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roboat research head and always involved in the AMS Institute, <strong>Carlo Ratti i<\/strong>s an expert on the evolution that will shape the cities of the future and is the great thinker of the project.

In the future, <strong>Roboat <\/strong>will be able to transport not only waste or goods but also people, thus serving as a mini-ferry or water taxi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cAnd that&#8217;s not all,\u201d<\/em> adds Carlo Ratti. <em>\u201cYou can view Roboat as a floating pixel, as a dynamic element of urban architecture with which you can build a bridge or a floating stage. After all, several Roboats can be joined together via a lateral latching mechanism. If you include the waters of a city in your thinking, a new urban infrastructure emerges.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside Crystal 2, the Roboat for waste collection, we find Lucy 1, the <strong>prototype for transporting people<\/strong>, with enough space to accommodate up to five passengers. This is where the open-air test begins in the test basin. Roboat accelerates surprisingly quickly and maneuvers nimbly. The journey is as smooth as a short trip on the water, pleasant and relaxing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone who has attempted to maneuver a boat through Amsterdam&#8217;s narrow, busy canals know that it\u2019s \u201ccareful as you go\u201d. But Carlo doesn&#8217;t think the people of Amsterdam will be reluctant to share their canals with <strong>self-driving boats<\/strong>: <em>\u201cDuring the recent tests on autonomous cars in Singapore, we saw that people were open to this idea once they had the chance to try those things out themselves.
