Greenroom Robotics, Australia's leading maritime AI and autonomy company, has been granted AUKUS Authorized User status by the Australian Government. This status, part of the AUKUS trilateral export agreement, gives Greenroom access to license-free exports to the United States and the United Kingdom to fast-track delivery of advanced technologies between AUKUS nations.

Founded by former Royal Australian Navy engineers and multi-generational mariners, Greenroom Robotics specializes in world-leading and cutting-edge navigation and situational awareness software that converts any ship or boat into a fully autonomous, AI-enabled vessel. Greenroom’s AI software is already transforming vessels large and small with partners across AUKUS nations such as Austal, Royal Australian Navy, EGS Survey, UK-based SubSea Craft, and has successfully been trialed by the US Department of Defense.

Harry Hubbert, Chief Operations Officer and Co-Founder at Greenroom Robotics, said: “We’re delighted to be one of the very first Australian companies to be granted AUKUS Authorized User Status. AUKUS is about much more than just nuclear submarines—it’s about sharing innovation and advanced technologies between the three countries, and Greenroom is thrilled to be taking a lead in AUKUS Pillar II.

“Our license-free approval means US and UK customers can deploy Greenroom’s proven maritime autonomy stack with the speed, flexibility, and assurance needed to meet today’s strategic challenges.

“At Greenroom Robotics, our mission is to transform maritime operations through autonomy and AI for safe, clean, and protected oceans. The maritime environment is especially complex for autonomous systems due to dynamic, unpredictable, and harsh conditions. The ocean’s surface and subsurface are in constant motion, influenced by waves, tides, currents, and weather patterns that can change rapidly. These factors impact navigation, sensor performance, and communications. There are also whales and other wildlife that need protection.

“You can’t just put an autonomous system into the ocean and expect it to work. Our decades of experience in the Navy uniquely position us for the autonomous maritime market, and our powerful software platform enables seamless human-machine teams in maritime operations. But our technology is not just about autonomy. It’s about building a future where our oceans remain vibrant and protected, sustaining both economic activity and the natural world for generations to come.”
