Robosys Automation is already recognized for its extensive compatibility with major engine, gearbox, propulsion and steering control manufacturers, offering seamless integration across inboard and outboard engines, sterndrives, and waterjets.
The introduction of thruster integration, now including Sleipner’s advanced bow and tunnel thrusters, marks a significant milestone in the evolution of the VOYAGER AI ecosystem.
Robosys and Sleipner UK’s collaborative ambition to further develop autonomous maritime system integrations has been supported through INNOVATE UK Launchpad Southwest’s ORACLES Project.
The latest integration enables enhanced propulsion control for remote and autonomous operations encompassing Thruster Control as a new standard offering within VOYAGER AI.
This capability further enhances precision maneuvering, station-keeping, and close-quarters navigation for both crewed and unmanned vessels.
With the addition of Sleipner thrusters, VOYAGER AI now offers unified control of Inboard engines, Outboard engines, Sterndrives, Waterjets, and now Bow, Stern and Azimuth Thrusters.
Sleipner Motor UK’s General Manager, Russell Chadwick, comments, “Sleipner Group are thrilled to see its thrusters integrated into Robosys’ VOYAGER AI maritime autonomy software.
“This collaboration not only enhances the capabilities of the system but also aligns perfectly with our commitment to advancing remote and autonomous technology in marine applications.
“We appreciate Robosys’ dedication to expanding innovative solutions for autonomous navigation. Together, we can create cutting-edge vessels and watercraft that meet the demands of the future.”
This multi-propulsion integration allows manned and unmanned operators to achieve superior station keeping, for workboats, commercial craft, defense platforms, research vessels, and USVs.
“Our VOYAGER AI’s modular and scalable architecture enables rapid integration of new propulsion systems and thrusters. This Sleipner thruster integration represents a key advancement in our mission to deliver the most flexible. modular and capable autonomy solutions available in the maritime sector,” said Aditya Nawab, CEO of Robosys Automation.
“By adding Sleipner’s trusted thruster systems to our VOYAGER AI platform, we’re enabling operators to benefit from enhanced station keeping and advanced autonomous behaviors,” commented Russell Chadwick, GM of Sleipner UK. “We at Sleipner Group are thrilled to see our thrusters integrated into Robosys’ VOYAGER AI software. This collaboration not only enhances the capabilities of Robosys’ system but also aligns perfectly with our commitment to advancing remote and autonomous technology in marine applications. We appreciate Robosys’ dedication to expanding innovative solutions for autonomous navigation. Together, we can create cutting-edge vessel and watercraft propulsion capabilities that meet the demands of the future.”
Robosys Automation’s VOYAGER AI software is designed to integrate seamlessly into both existing and newly built vessels, providing a scalable architecture for future-proof remote and autonomous operations. The new thruster integration aligns with the company’s ongoing commitment to advancing safety, efficiency, and capability within the maritime autonomy landscape.
