Robosys Automation has secured a new contract with the Australian Maritime College (AMC) Search to supply its VOYAGER AI software for an Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV).
This contract will retrofit the VOYAGER AI software onto AMC Search’s OPT WAMV-16 USV, building on the existing successful collaboration between the two organisations.
The VOYAGER AI software is already deployed in AMC’s Bridge Simulators to aid in testing autonomous COLREGS-based Collision Avoidance and building trust in AI navigation for STCW watchkeepers. The new agreement will further enhance the college’s Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV) Remote Operator Training Courses.
Integration with the WAM-V 16 USV will provide enhanced autonomous navigation, real-time decision-making, and adaptive mission planning capabilities. Consequently, VOYAGER AI will be operational both afloat onboard the WAM-V and within AMC’s Bridge Simulator Suite.
The WAM-V 16 platform, which is designed for training, research, and operational use, will benefit from the software’s robust capabilities in autonomous control, COLREG-compliant collision avoidance, and multi-sensor data fusion. The system is set to become a core component in AMC Search’s training curriculum, preparing students for the evolving demands of remote and autonomous vessel operations.
Nick Bonser of AMC Search commented on the collaboration, “Continuing AMC Search and Robosys’ successful ongoing collaboration, the adoption of Robosys’ VOYAGER AI into a new remote operator training course will significantly expand the college’s training capacity, giving students direct experience with state-of-the-art AI-driven autonomy systems used in modern uncrewed maritime operations.”
Nigel Lee, CSO of Robosys Automation, stated, “We are proud to continue our partnership with AMC Search. The awarding of this new contract is a strong endorsement of the value that VOYAGER AI brings to ASV operations and training. It’s a privilege to support AMC Search in shaping the future of maritime autonomy through cutting-edge education and technology.”
This expanded collaboration reinforces Robosys Automation’s position as a provider of maritime autonomy solutions and underscores its commitment to supporting academic and training institutions worldwide in developing the next generation of USV remote operators.
