About

Ashkan Makhsoos is a researcher focused on advancing autonomous marine systems through renewable energy integration. His work centers on optimizing photovoltaic energy generation for unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), addressing the critical challenge of sustained autonomous operation on water. His most cited study, "Evaluation of some effective parameters on the energy efficiency of on-board photovoltaic array on an unmanned surface vehicle" (2018, 13 citations), systematically examines key factors—such as panel orientation, shading, and environmental conditions—that influence solar energy capture for robotic boats. By simulating and testing these parameters, Makhsoos provides practical insights into maximizing onboard power output, directly supporting longer mission durations and reducing reliance on traditional fuel sources. This contribution is particularly valuable for the development of self-sufficient USVs used in environmental monitoring, surveillance, and oceanographic research. His work bridges the gap between renewable energy engineering and marine robotics, offering a foundation for future innovations in autonomous, eco-friendly maritime technology. Makhsoos’s research underscores the importance of tailored energy solutions for specialized robotic platforms, making him a notable voice in sustainable autonomous systems.
