Robosys Automation Integrates VOYAGER AI REMOTE with Sleipner Thruster Technology
Sleipner and Robosys Automation have announced a strategic collaboration at Seawork 2026, combining their respective expertise in vessel propulsion and maritime autonomy to deliver enhanced operational capabilities for commercial and workboat operators.
The partnership integrates Robosys Automation’s intelligent autonomy platform with Sleipner’s high-performance thruster technology, creating a comprehensive solution designed to improve vessel control, manoeuvrability and operational efficiency.
VOYAGER AI REMOTE integrates seamlessly with Sleipner thrusters to enable accurate station keeping, dynamic positioning and vessel control. The system continuously monitors environmental and operational conditions, automatically adjusting propulsion to maintain stability, enhance safety, and optimise efficiency.
Suited for integration with up to four Sleipner thrusters, the system enables remote vessel control with advanced features including Track Control, Station Keeping, and Dynamic Positioning. This integrated approach supports current operational needs while providing a scalable pathway towards increased onboard and offboard remote and autonomous marine operations.
This joint solution represents a significant step forward in marine technology, enabling vessel owners and operators to benefit from improved handling and reduced workload while maintaining full operational oversight. By merging intelligent autonomy with precise propulsion response, the system supports complex mission profiles across a wide range of marine crewed and unmanned applications.
“Our collaboration with Sleipner reflects a shared commitment to innovation and operational excellence,” said Nigel Lee, CSO of Robosys Automation. “By integrating Robosys’ VOYAGER AI REMOTE system with Sleipner’s trusted thruster technology, we are delivering a solution that enhances control today while enabling the transition to greater autonomy in the future.”
Russell Chadwick, General Manager of Sleipner UK, commented: “This partnership allows us to extend the capabilities of our thruster systems into the evolving autonomous landscape. Together with Robosys Automation, we are providing vessel operators with a smarter, more adaptable control solution. As the maritime industry continues to evolve, this collaboration positions both companies at the forefront of next-generation marine technology.”
