Sea Machines Robotics

Introducing SELKIE, the new USV from Sea Machines Robotics. Powered by the SM300 Autonomous Command and Control system, SELKIE combines our robust autonomous system on the most optimal platform, so you can experience and utilize autonomy hassle-free.   SELKIE is... 💪 Rugged 💪 Constructed from HDPE, SELKIE’s hull is resilient to impact. Capable of up to Sea State 5 Integrated cargo bay for long-range logistics, even in challenging conditions.   🛡 Reliable 🛡 The SM300 Autonomous Command and Control provides robust autonomous capabilities that has over 20,000 hours of on-water testing and client use time. ✅ Easy to Use ✅ We make autonomy accessible through an ENC-based User Interface, simply click and drag to set waypoints, and you’re off! As its shapeshifting mythological namesake, SELKIE excels as a conventionally piloted #boat or in her primary format as an #AutonomousVessel, commanded from anywhere  === ⚠ Discover SELKIE for #HydrographicSurvey, #SAR, and more now: https://lnkd.in/gna3-SP9 #SMRSELKIE #AutonomousVessel #MaritimeIndustry #MaritimeTech #Boston

Catch us at MACC next week! Join Sea Machines’ Erik Hedval and Phil Bourque at the Multi-Agency Craft Conference at the Renaissance Waterfront Hotel in Portsmouth VA! Save the date (16-18th July), and we’ll see you there! #Autonomy #USV #Maritime #MaritimeTechnology 

🔎 Unmanned Vessels for ISR: Working Smarter in 2024     USVs can have a significant impact on Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (#ISR) operations by providing persistent, autonomous monitoring and #datacollection capabilities in remote or hazardous environments, enhancing #situationalawareness, and enabling rapid response to #security threats.     💡SELKIE, our newest autonomous vessel, is equipped for Beyond Line of Sight (#BLOS) operation, capable of operating in Sea State 5 conditions, and boasts high range and #endurance, making it the ideal vessel for ISR. #SMRSELKIE #AutonomousVessel #Maritime 

Dangerous Maritime Jobs ⬇️ Many maritime jobs carry significant health and safety risks for marine officers, including: 🚨 Unexploded Ordnance Disposal 🚨 Search and Rescue 🚨 Oil Spill Response 🚨 Asset Escort and Protection With technology that now allows operators to not only remotely command their vessels from a safe location, but to also have full control of payloads via integrated controls, there is little reason to expose mariners to dangerous work environments. See a more detailed explanation of each use case in our blog, link in comments! ✨

🚢 Autonomous Vessels + Starlink = Faster Hydrographic Survey Results 🌐 Traditional hydrographic survey operations require lengthy deployment times and substantial lead times for transferring and processing data as data collected during the survey is typically stored on-board the vessel, meaning it can't be analyzed until the vessel returns to port. By equipping autonomous hydrographic survey vessels with Starlink, surveyors can: 💡 Deploy faster and more efficiently. 💡 Transmit data back to HQ in real-time as it is recorded. 💡 Accelerate the data analysis and reporting process, crucial for time-sensitive operations. Survey, send, simple.

Happy 4th of July from us here at Sea Machines! We’re proud to be an American company with a global presence. Today, we celebrate our roots and our international team that drives innovation in maritime technology. Wishing everyone a joyful and safe Independence Day! #IndependenceDay #4thOfJuly #SMRSELKIE
