Revolutionizing Maritime Navigation: The Robosys and SEA.AI Partnership

Robosys Automation, in collaboration with SEA.AI, is pioneering the progress of an innovative maritime navigation and collision avoidance system that utilizes advanced AI-driven machine vision technology. This groundbreaking system is set to redefine how vessels operate on the water.

First of Its Kind in the Industry

Designed specifically for a shipping operator in the Mumbai area, this system will be the first commercial vessel globally to incorporate an integrated Perception System, facilitating both crewed and uncrewed maritime operations, including remote and autonomous functionalities.

Enhanced safety Features

The combination of Robosys’ Voyager AI navigation software and SEA.AI’s Sentry technology equips vessels with state-of-the-art obstacle and collision avoidance capabilities. This integration is further enhanced by fatigue-free optical algorithms, ensuring continuous vigilance.

Seamless Integration for Optimal Performance

The Robosys and SEA.AI systems work together through sophisticated software interfaces, providing timely alerts to crews and remote operation centers about potential obstacles on the water’s surface.By leveraging cutting-edge camera technology alongside AI, SEA.AI can identify and categorize objects that traditional systems like radar or AIS might overlook.

Upcoming Sea Trials

The installation of the integrated Robosys Voyager AI and SEA.AI system has been successfully completed, with the first vessel set to commence sea trials shortly.

Broader Benefits Beyond Safety

While the machine vision system significantly enhances safety and offers extensive 360° situational awareness for various types of vessels—including commercial ships, government crafts, and luxury yachts—the Voyager AI system also contributes to improved fuel efficiency through intelligent route optimization.

Advanced Risk Assessment

The SEA.AI machine vision system meticulously analyzes pixel data from thermal and low-light cameras to evaluate the risk levels of surrounding floating objects. This pioneering technology employs advanced deep learning techniques and a continually expanding database of over 9 million annotated marine objects to accurately classify potential hazards.

Comprehensive Navigation Solutions

The Voyager AI System integrates data from machine vision with other tracking sources, such as Radar and AIS, to either recommend or autonomously navigate the vessel, considering all navigational and shipping hazards. This system has been successfully tested on vessels up to 320 meters in length.

Exceptional Detection Capabilities

With an extensive detection range, the system boasts the widest detection angle and the fastest detection frequency available, significantly enhancing performance even in challenging sea conditions.

Expert Insights

Nigel Lee,Chief Strategy Officer at Robosys,remarked,“In 2022,we recognized the necessity for enhanced optical reassurance for both crewed and uncrewed vessels,fulfilling the visual lookout requirements of COLREGS Rule 5 without fatigue. Witnessing the first vessel equipped with this essential solution is a significant milestone in our mission to enhance maritime safety.”

Marcus warrelmann, CEO of SEA.AI, added, “Bringing our collaboration with robosys to fruition is incredibly rewarding. Our unique Maritime Machine Vision technology offers vital optical reassurance, marking a significant advancement in maritime safety. This accomplishment underscores our commitment to innovation and our goal of positively impacting the industry.”
