Rolls-Royce and Sea Machines Robotics have announced a new partnership to provide a complete set of fully and semi-autonomous vessel control solutions via a single source.

Sea Machines Robotics will embark on a 1,000 nautical mile autonomous and remotely commanded journey around Denmark later this month.

Boston-based Sea Machines Robotics and New Zealand-based HamiltonJet have signed an agreement to develop a new pilot-assist product that utilises computer vision and autonomous command and control technologies to move waterjet vessels.

Boston-based Sea Machines Robotics has entered a strategic alliance with Damen Shipyards Group of the Netherlands to incorporate the company’s autonomous and wireless-helm systems as standard features in Damen’s global vessel build catalogue. This partnership increases the accessibility of Sea Machines systems in marine and maritime markets and further propels Sea Machines into mainstream use aboard commercial vessels.

Boston-based Sea Machines Robotics, a developer of autonomous systems for ocean-going vessels has accomplished its full $20M investment goal with a second close of $5M. The company announced the first close of $15M in July.
