British firm Robosys Automation has unveiled a new simulator developed to test and validate autonomous ships and remotely operated vessels, at a time when maritime automation continues to gain ground in the sector.
The tool, called VOYAGER AI Simulator, makes it possible to create a kind of digital twin of the ship, virtually reproducing its behavior based on navigation data, sensors and operational performance. In practice, it becomes possible to trial missions, assess system decisions and test responses in a controlled environment before any real operation at sea. The simulator was designed to recreate complex maritime traffic scenarios, including collision risks, obstacles and different navigation conditions, helping operators and technical teams understand how the autonomous system reacts to demanding situations.
Beyond reducing costs and risks associated with sea trials, this solution can also accelerate the development of more autonomous vessels, strengthening the safety and reliability of automated navigation. The launch shows how artificial intelligence and simulation are taking on an increasingly relevant role in the future of maritime transport.
