More troubles on the open sea came in late May when the U.S.-bound boat developed a problem with the charging circuit for the generator&#8217;s starter batteries.<\/p>\n<p>AI software is getting better at helping self-driving machines understand their surroundings and pilot themselves, but most robots can&#8217;t heal themselves when the hardware goes awry.<\/p>\n<p>Nonprofit marine research organization ProMare, which worked with IBM to build the ship, switched to a back-up navigation computer on May 30 and charted a course to Halifax\u2014which was closer than any U.S. destination. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mas400.com\/dashboard\">The boat&#8217;s webcam<\/a> on Sunday morning showed it being towed by a larger boat as the Halifax skyline neared\u2014a safety requirement under international maritime rules, IBM said.\n                                                                                                                        <\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<div class=\"article-main__explore my-4 d-print-none\">\n<p>                                            AI-powered Mayflower, beset with glitch, returns to England\n                                        <\/p><\/div>\n<hr class=\"mb-4\"\/>\n<p class=\"article-main__note mt-4\">\n                                                \u00a9 2022 The Associated Press.
