An autonomous lifebuoy includes a body, an electric power supply, a propelling module and a control unit configured to control the autonomous lifebuoy so as to automatically guide the autonomous lifebuoy towards a person overboard in water, during a man overboard (MOB) situation. The control unit includes at least one communication module, a graphics processing unit (GPU) for comparing pre-recorded images of the autonomous lifebuoy itself and a person overboard, pre-recorded in non-volatile memory, with images received, by way of the at least one communication module, from at least one of a local area network (LAN), a camera and a smartphone camera, each in proximity of the autonomous lifebuoy and a microcomputer for making calculations, based on at least the image comparison of the graphics processing unit (GPU), and issue commands to at least the propelling module to propel the autonomous lifebuoy towards the person overboard in the water.
