Company overview
Sea Machines Robotics develops autonomous command-and-control systems and advanced perception tools for commercial and defense maritime vessels. Its hardware portfolio includes the SM300 series—modular autonomy kits designed for rapid retrofit or new-build installation on vessels from 10 to 300 feet—and the AI-ris 4K computer-vision system for object detection, navigation support, and situational awareness. Sea Machines also develops unmanned surface vessels (SELKIE and STORMRUNNER) for industrial, scientific, and contested-environment applications. These systems integrate sensors, onboard computing, connectivity modules, and perception hardware for autonomous navigation, obstacle avoidance, remote piloting, and multi-vessel fleet coordination. Software capabilities include a marine-grade autonomy stack, real-time obstacle detection and avoidance, fleet data management, mission execution, and APIs for integrating autonomy with third-party systems.
Sea Machines sells its autonomy kits and computer-vision systems primarily as upfront hardware purchases, supported by annual software licenses. Optional subscriptions provide cloud-platform access for fleet monitoring, real-time analytics, system health reporting, and cybersecurity updates. Operators can add annual maintenance and software-update contracts, and managed services such as remote monitoring, configuration assistance, and system upgrades. Professional services—including integration engineering, regulatory and compliance support, crew training, and onsite commissioning—are available either as part of the initial deployment or as ongoing service agreements. This model blends CapEx hardware with optional recurring software and support tiers tailored to long-term fleet operations.
