Maritime Autonomy Solutions for Uncrewed Surface Vessels (USVs) & Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS)

Robosys Automation is a world leader in maritime autonomy solutions that enable USVs (uncrewed surface vessels) and MASS (maritime autonomous surface ships) of all sizes to undertake dull, dirty and dangerous tasks with the utmost in safety and efficiency. Utilizing state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies, we can provide any motorised vessel with scalable levels of autonomy up to full IMO degree 4, with capabilities including independent navigation, collision and obstacle avoidance, anti-grounding and dynamic route optimisation.

Headquartered at the UK’s National Oceanography Centre with offices and live testing facilities around the world, we have over two decades of experience in supporting a wide range of industries and market segments, including commercial shipping, surveying, defence, search and rescue and more.

Voyager AI Vessel

Enabling uncrewed, remote piloting and autonomous operations

Voyager AI Vessel is a proven and trusted full-stack software solution that can be deployed on purpose-built USVs and can also be used to retrofit existing vessels with optionally uncrewed, remote control and fully autonomous capabilities. Using sophisticated sensor fusion of data from radar, AIS, ARPA and other sources, it can deliver up to IMO degree 4 autonomy at speeds of up to 45 knots.

The powerful software uses AI-based perception and smart object detection to enable COLREGS-compliant automatic collision avoidance, anti-grounding, and mission continuity during loss-of-communications events.
