Blue Armada Robotics Buys HydroSurv USV, More Orders Coming
, I saw a REAV-60 on the water, owned and operated by a third party," said Michal Latacz, Co-Founder & CEO of Blue Armada Robotics. "I had to play cat and mouse to find out who actually built it. Fortunately, it led me to David Hull, CEO of HydroSurv, and their approach to constructing sea machines, and in particular the REAV-60 platform, fits very well into the long-term strategy of Blue Armada Robotics' service development and technological integration plan.”HydroSurv’s REAV-60 measures six meters long with multi-day endurance with a battery hybrid powertrain. Its payload
Sea Machines Launches Its First Turnkey USV
Boston-based Sea Machines Robotics has unveiled its first turnkey unmanned surface vessel (USV) dubbed Selkie.The first model, SELKIE 7, is a 7-meter USV powered by the company's flagship SM300 Autonomous Command and Control system.As the first turnkey autonomous vessel released by Sea Machines, SELKIE has been developed for hydrographic surveying, offshore asset inspection, and persistent on water operations such as security and environmental studies.The USV can switch between two forms, Autonomous Unmanned or Manned Manual Piloting, according to Sea Machines.It is equipped with built-in cargo
Sea Machines Unveils SELKIE Uncrewed Surface Vessel
Marine technology company Sea Machines Robotics has unveiled a new uncrewed surface vessel (USV) geared for industries ranging from hydrographic surveying, offshore asset inspection, and persistent on water operations such as security and environmental studies.The first model, SELKIE 7, is a 7-meter USV built on a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) hull and powered by the company's flagship SM300 Autonomous Command and Control system, unlocking autonomous capabilities for any task-driven workboat fleet operator wanting to enhance and optimize their routine or persistent long duration on-water work.
Zelim Taps Sea Machines for Unmanned Search and Rescue Vessel
Scottish search and rescue (SAR) technology company Zelim has developed the Guardian class of fast rescue craft, controlled by Sea Machines Robotics’ SM300 maritime autonomy, enabling unmanned operation of the vessel employing Zelim’s casualty detection and recovery process. The 8.5m Guardian includes Sea Machines SM300 remote command and control product, making capable of uncrewed operation. The SM300 hardware integrates with the Guardian’s propulsion system and sensors, enabling vessel control while streaming real time situational awareness and casualty detection to a remote
Vessel Autonomy in Offshore Wind: Scaling up Ops via Tech, Regulation
industry, there are several issues that will require continual focus, including connectivity, the use of augmented reality, human factors and cyber security. Continuous and reliable communication and connectivity between the vessel and the remote operator station is a key enabler.ABS collaborated with Sea Machines and Foss Maritime to advance adoption of autonomous operations at sea by issuing approval in principle (AIP) to their vessel autonomy system, the SM300, that provides autonomous navigation and collision detection and collision avoidance (CDCA). Foss is to install Sea Machines’ SM300 system
Sea Machines Debuts AI-ris Computer Vision for Commercial Vessels
Marine perception sensor aims to provide high-def situational awareness to eliminate at-sea collisions and allisionsSea Machines Robotics unveiled AI-ris (Artificial Intelligence Recognition and Identification System), a new marine computer-vision navigation sensor designed to improve safety and performance while vessels are underway. Sea Machines’ AI-ris uses digital cameras and AI-processing to detect, track, classify and geolocate objects, vessel traffic and other potential obstacles in the majority of operational conditions, day or night. Computer vision helps improve safety for vessels
Sea Machines, HamiltonJet Launch JETsense
Sea Machines Robotics and HamiltonJet have launched a new intelligent voyage control product, named JETsense, that uses autonomous navigation, multi-sensor fusion, and computer vision "to move waterjet vessels to the forefront of 21st-century navigation and utility."JETsense utilizes Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced autonomy to perceive the domain and maintain precise control of steering and speed during a voyage and re-route to avoid traffic and obstacles while enabling a new level of streaming data to improve on-water operations, the two companies said.The new HamiltonJet product
