Sleipner (Side-Power) Thruster Systems are heading into remote and autonomous operations as thruster controls become a new standard offering within autonomy and remote vessel control software.
The introduction of thruster integration, including Sleipner’s advanced bow and tunnel thrusters, into Robosys Automation’s VOYAGER AI enhances precision manoeuvring and close-quarters navigation, enabling manned and unmanned operators to achieve superior station keeping for workboats, commercial craft, defence platforms, research vessels, and USVs (Uncrewed Surface Vessels).
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.”
The Sleipner UK and Robosys’ collaboration to further develop autonomous maritime system integration has been supported through INNOVATE UK Launchpad Southwest’s ORACLES Project.
