Talk-07: The Robonautics Autonomous Sailing Vessel (DemoDay 2024)
Walter Holemans, Joseph Curcio, Vincent Vandyck, Robonautics
Robonautics, LLC is proud to introduce our innovative technology, an unmanned sailing vessel designed to revolutionize marine observation and data capture. Capable of operating autonomously, this vessel provides persistent and real-time monitoring of coastal marine environments. Equipped with advanced sensors and data collection instruments, it can gather a wide array of oceanographic data, including water temperature, salinity, and wave height, as well as biological and atmospheric information. Its renewable energy system, utilizing solar power, ensures long-term operational capability without the need for refueling, making it an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution for extended marine missions.
In collaboration with researchers at MIT, we are promoting the development of advanced autonomous sailing capabilities. Ideal for applications ranging from scientific research to environmental monitoring and maritime security, Robonautics' unmanned sailing vessel offers unparalleled efficiency and reliability, supporting better decision-making and enhancing our understanding of the world's oceans.
