ROBOTICS & AUTONOMY

Fleetzero’s autonomy stack empowers commercial & defense vessels to arrive faster, safer, and more reliably.

OctoDrive empowered vessel completes its maiden voyage

Introducing, OctoDrive.

Autonomy platform for commercial and defense customers.

Fleetzero’s AI-powered, crew-assisting technology allows mariners to accomplish their mission from their home-base port or on-board.

  • Single stack software that scales to integrate multiple vessels, sensors, and cameras

  • Ability to rapidly integrate with nearly any vessel

  • Capable of teaming multiple vessels

  • Low-latency, high-visibility performance

  • Autonomous route planning

  • Features multi-sensory fusion, combining data from GPS, AIS, INS, radar, on board systems, cameras, and visualization

  • Pairs software, on-board robotics, and vessel design to enable more hands-off autonomy.

Designed for tele-operated commercial vessels and denied area access for defense customers.

Electrification is the unlock for autonomy. Conventional propulsion systems demand constant maintenance. We solved the hard problem first. Now we get to show the world what comes next: a system that makes shipping safer, smarter, and puts more capability in the hands of the mariners.”

FAQs

Can I upfit my current vessel?

Yes, our stack is purpose-built for retrofits. We can install on nearly any existing vessel and brings full autonomous operating capability without a newbuild or major overhaul. Your current assets become autonomous-ready.

Can I have still have people on board?

Every operation has different requirements. Our testing has included both crew on board and remote crew. We size the system to accomplish the operational profile.

Will OctoDrive integrate with my vessel software?

Yes, we designed OctoDrive to integrate with current vessel management software and existing bridge systems. We’ve retrofitted multiple vessel types and can work with nearly any class of ship.
