Robosys wins South African contract
UK-based maritime AI specialist Robosys has announced winning a contract to supply and integrate its AI systems into a fully autonomous unmanned surface vessel (USV).
The USV has been designed by Icarus Marine, and will be built by Legacy Marine, in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
The USV’s control system for autonomous navigation uses Robosys’ Voyager AI system, which provides for the onboard navigation, visual and autonomous control of the USV at various levels of autonomy.
The 9.5m USV can be launched from any suitable floating platform or the shore, and will be used for functions such as surveillance, interdiction, search and rescue functions.
The USV features an aluminium hull, powered by a Volvo Penta D-6-400 engine, with steering and onboard systems, monitoring and controls, including payload and surveillance sensors.
Robosys’ AI system is a full stack autonomy solution supported by artificial intelligence combined with decision-aid algorithms enabling fully-autonomous USVs from 3–340 metres.
Robosys, which will be on stand B501 at Oceanology in London’s Excel in March, has offices in the UK, USA, India and Canada.
