Robosys Automation and Sleipner have announced a strategic partnership at Seawork 2026, combining autonomous navigation technology with precision thruster systems to deliver an integrated vessel control solution.
At the centre of the collaboration is the deployment of Robosys Automation’s VOYAGER AI REMOTE platform with Sleipner thruster integration.
The system enables station keeping, dynamic positioning, and vessel control by continuously monitoring environmental and operational conditions, automatically adjusting propulsion to maintain stability and efficiency.
Compatible with up to four Sleipner thrusters, the solution supports Track Control, Station Keeping, and Dynamic Positioning, with remote vessel control capabilities designed to reduce crew workload without compromising operational oversight.
The architecture is built to scale, providing a pathway towards broader remote and autonomous operations across both crewed and unmanned applications.
