Perception Enhancement
Present the surrounding environment with 360° real-time videos, to ensure that there are no blind spots for observation.
360° Surround View
Deliver situation awareness based on the surrounding environment and the boat’s motion state, to provide early warning for various collision risks.
Collision Warning
By integrating wind speed, direction, and nautical chart information, our intelligent algorithm optimizes the route to avoid hazardous areas like shoals. Key elements such as the route, waypoints, and speed are displayed to improve the safety and efficiency of navigation.
Intelligent Navigation
Advanced Assistance System
For small and medium-sized boats such as leisure boats, fishing boats, and yachts, the advanced assistance system provides a higher level of assisted driving functions for an easier, safer, and more relaxed boating experience.
Enable the boat to autonomously resist the effects of water currents and wind, achieving long-term hovering at a fixed position.
Dynamic Positioning
Perform situation awareness based on the surrounding environment and the boat’s motion state, autonomously plan a route and detour to avoid collision.
Collision Avoidance
Plan the docking path based on the boat’s dynamic characteristics and dock/undock autonomously to reduce the burden and ensuring precise docking.
Autonomous Docking and Undocking
Control the throttle and rudder autonomously, achieving high-precision navigation along the route without any manual operation.
Autonomous Piloting
Achieve 360° omnidirectional control via the controller. Users can change the boat's course according to the task with control signal optimized by the algorithm and transmitted to the propulsion and steering systems to achieve precise control.
Flexible Control
Autonomous Pilot System
For unmanned surface vessels (USVs), the autonomous pilot system support a variety of modes such as remote control, fully autonomous navigation, and fleet management, among which the fully autonomous navigation modes include autonomous piloting, collision avoidance, autonomous return, dynamic anchor, etc. The system can be applied to inspection, security, and other fields.
Maintain a predetermined formation and spacing to achieve fleet management and formation changes, through information sharing and cooperation control among multiple vessels.
Fleet Management
Obtain the position and speed of the target ship through radar, cameras and other equipment, to intelligently calculate the following route and speed, and to achieve accurate tracking through the autonomous control module.
Autonomous Following
Autonomously follow the route, avoid obstacles, and safe return with one click, keeping the fixed position without the traditional physical anchors.
Autonomous Piloting
Deliver comprehensive and accurate situational analysis by comprehensively analyzing surrounding environmental information to grasp the navigation status of other vessels in real time.
Situational Awareness
Remote monitor and remote control the vessel by a convenient dock-based system. The system can receive real-time status information from the vessel's onboard systems and send remote commands to the vessel then take over control of the ship.
Remote Control
Advanced Pilot Assistance System
Suitable for various propulsion system types (fuel-powered and electric-powered), speeds (high and low), and scenarios, including inland rivers and maritime areas
