At Oceanology International 2026, Robosys Automation unveiled its new VOYAGER AI Simulator, a powerful new maritime simulation environment designed to work with the VOYAGER AI Autonomous Navigation System.

The VOYAGER Simulator enables advanced testing, validation, and mission planning for autonomous and remotely operated vessels by creating a Digital or Virtual Twin of a vessel or USV (Unmanned Surface Vessel).

KEY CAPABILITIES

The simulator:

• Creates digital twins of vessels or USVs, simulating engines, sensors, and navigation data
• Models multiple vessel tracks to test complex traffic scenarios and conduct quantitative analysis
• Tests COLREGs-compliant collision avoidance behaviour in realistic maritime environments
• Conducts shore-based simulation and immersive operational testing
• Ingests live maritime traffic data and generate augmented traffic scenarios for operational training or testing
• Performs complex seaborne mission rehearsal planning before real-world deployment

Core Features

The VOYAGER Simulator includes a range of capabilities designed to support autonomous vessel development and testing, including:

• Integrated ENC display for accurate maritime navigation environments
• Drag-and-drop scenario creation for rapid simulation setup
• Remote Piloting (RP) testing capability
• Integration with third-party hardware controllers for realistic RP operations
• Support for Degree 4 autonomous vessel testing

Propelling Maritime Innovation

The VOYAGER Simulator provides developers, operators, and regulators with a powerful maritime synthetic environment to validate autonomous navigation behaviour, improve safety, and accelerate the deployment of autonomous maritime systems.

By enabling high-fidelity simulation of vessels and complex traffic environments, the platform allows teams to test and refine operational scenarios before vessels ever enter the water, reducing risk while improving performance and reliability.
