Report on Completion of Internship at FURUNO ELECTRIC CO., LTD. (MELENDEZ Nemesio, Course of Applied Marine Environmental Studies)
From September 4th-15th, I participated in an internship held at FURUNO ELECTRIC CO., LTD.
FURUNO has provided me with an invaluable opportunity to explore the synergy between technology and the maritime industry. I cannot share specific project details due to confidentiality constraints, but I wish to express my profound appreciation to FURUNO and the WISE program for this enriching experience.
During my internship, I focused on developing machine learning solutions to augment decision-making processes in the maritime field, drawing upon my foundational knowledge of SAC and PPO algorithms acquired during my master's degree. FURUNO's vision of maritime AI simulated applications resonates with the industry's constant pursuit of innovation.
Our approach used Python programming and a bunch of helpful tools, which helped us make big strides in our project about improving how we make decisions in the maritime world. We added some fancy tech and moved on to the testing phase, and we were amazed at how well our algorithms could learn and make choices.
I am immensely grateful for this transformative internship experience, which has deepened my understanding of the vital role technology plays in maritime operations. My heartfelt thanks go to FURUNO for their continuous dedication to advancing marine electronics, improving safety, and enhancing efficiency at sea. Additionally, I wish to extend my gratitude to the WISE program for facilitating this exceptional opportunity, which has undeniably enriched my professional journey. In conclusion, this internship has emphasized the importance of sustained research and development in maritime technology, and I am privileged to have been part of this experience with FURUNO and WISE.
