Sea Machines Robotics :: AI-Powered Perception & Intelligent Navigation Solutions

Sea Machines Robotics is a leading maritime autonomy company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. The company develops advanced autonomous command and control systems, AI-powered perception, and intelligent navigation solutions for commercial, defense, and government vessels. Sea Machines enables vessels of all sizes — from small workboats to large ships and Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) — to operate with greater safety, efficiency, and capability through retrofit or new-build installations.

The company’s technology focuses on “autonomy without limits”, supporting both manned and fully autonomous operations across coastal, offshore, and inland waterways. Their solutions are proven in real-world commercial shipping, offshore energy, defense, and research applications worldwide.

Key robot-based and autonomy products include:

• SM300 Autonomy System: The flagship product — a comprehensive autonomous command and control platform. It provides remote vessel control, autonomous waypoint navigation, collision avoidance, and AI-based perception. It supports single-operator oversight of multiple vessels and integrates with existing ship systems.
• STORMRUNNER Class AUSV: Autonomous Unmanned Surface Vehicles developed for defense applications, including counter-UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems) missions.
• SELKIE USV: A 7-meter autonomous surface vessel validated in challenging environments such as the West Philippine Sea.
• STEAMRACER-Class Autonomous Ship: Advanced platform advancing in major U.S. Navy programs.
• Marine Autonomy APIs: Recently launched interfaces for seamless integration with third-party command-and-control systems.

Sea Machines operates globally with offices in the USA, Germany, Denmark, and Poland. The company continues to expand its presence in defense and commercial maritime markets, with recent partnerships in Japan and demonstrations in the Indo-Pacific region.
