The Robot Ships Roaming our Seas
It sounds futuristic, but ships are already sailing the seas with little or no crew on board, as companies embrace the technology that could revolutionise the shipping industry.
It sounds like a vision of the future or like something from science fiction, but ships are already sailing the seas with little or no crew on board. They're controlled from land, and this can be done from anywhere in the world.
Increasing numbers of companies are starting to embrace this technology, and they say it could revolutionise the shipping industry.
For 5 Minutes On, the 大象传媒's science editor, Rebecca Morelle, has been to Norway to explore one of these ships on its maiden voyages.
