    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media that implement an autonomous modular breakwater system. An example system includes a plurality of autonomous submersible structures, each configured to mechanically link to any other of the plurality of autonomous submersible structures to form a breakwater. The system includes a controller configured to perform operations including: determining a location for construction of a breakwater; determining an initial location of each of the plurality of autonomous submersible structures; selecting, based at least in part on the initial location of each of the plurality of autonomous submersible structures, a subset of the plurality of autonomous submersible structures for constructing the breakwater; and transmitting, to each of the selected autonomous submersible structures, instructions to transit from the respective initial location to the location for construction of the breakwater and to mechanically couple to at least one other autonomous submersible structure to form the breakwater.

    Abstract: A system for servicing watercraft includes one or more waterborne platforms. Each waterborne platform includes an electric power supply, a driving system for moving the waterborne platform in a body of water, a watercraft interfacing system configured to at least supply electric power to an electrically-powered watercraft, and a control interface configured to exchange data with a controller. The controller is configured to: receive input data, determine respective destination locations for the waterborne platforms to supply electric power to the electrically-powered watercraft, and send control data that includes data indicating the destination locations to the waterborne platforms.
