Abstract

Autonomous vessels driven by renewable energy are increasingly envisioned as vital for sustainable ocean?operations such as environmental monitoring, offshore power generation, and long-haul unmanned surface vehicles. Implementing fine-scale control of these systems has proven challenging however,?due to time-varying sea-state dynamics, sporadic energy inputs, the possibility of failure at the component level, and the requirement for coordination between multiple agents. In the article, an end-to-end deep reinforcement learning-based hierarchical control solution with real-time navigation and?its synthesis for energy optimization is proposed. It combines high-level energy regulation with low-level actuator scheduling so as to react to the variations of?the environment and internal perturbations. Simulations using actual wave realizations, sensor failures, actuator outages, and network communication variation were used?to demonstrate the performance of the control system in the following 5 performance aspects: energy saving, navigation accuracy, communication reliability, fault tolerant and multi-agent coordination. Results indicate that the architecture sustained over 80% of the performance and achieved energy efficiencies up to 54.5% in the?best case under failure scenarios. Performance-measures demonstrated reasonable scalability?up to 5–7 agents without significant communication overhead. The findings support the applicability of deep reinforcement learning for real-time maritime control under uncertainty, offering a viable alternative to conventional rule-based or predictive control strategies. The framework’s modular design allows for future integration with federated learning, hybrid control models, or autonomous deployment. The article contributes to the growing field of intelligent marine systems by providing a robust and adaptable control strategy for sustainable and scalable operations in autonomous maritime environments.

Abstract

As smartphones become central to personal identity verification, the need for secure, efficient, and power-conscious authentication methods is paramount. While multimodal biometric systems, combining features like face and fingerprint recognition, offer superior accuracy over unimodal approaches, their adoption on mobile platforms is severely hindered by high energy consumption and hardware variability. This paper introduces an energy-aware multimodal biometric authentication framework designed for Android smartphones that directly confronts this challenge. Our system features a novel adaptive fusion mechanism that intelligently balances recognition accuracy with power consumption by dynamically adjusting the weights of biometric modalities in real-time based on battery level and ambient environmental conditions. To validate our framework, we conducted an extensive experimental study involving 46 participants across 460 authentication sessions on five different smartphone models. The results demonstrate that our adaptive system significantly outperforms both unimodal and static fusion baselines. It achieves a high True Acceptance Rate (TAR) and a low Equal Error Rate (EER) while substantially reducing the Energy-Delay Product (EDP). A key feature is the system's ability to gracefully degrade to a secure, fingerprint-only mode when the battery is critically low, ensuring continuous availability without compromising security. This research proves that intelligent, context-aware modality adaptation is a viable strategy for creating robust, efficient, and sustainable biometric authentication solutions suitable for long-term use in consumer electronics.
