Sea Machines Robotics

Sea Machines Robotics is an autonomous-marine company headquartered in Boston, that builds command-and-control systems to make vessels autonomous or remotely operated. Its SM300 system can be retrofitted onto existing workboats, and the company has completed more than two hundred autonomy deliveries and reached final evaluation for a US Navy autonomy program.

The genuine AI is the perception and autonomy stack that lets a boat sense its surroundings and control itself, applied first to workboats and defense applications.

The honest framing: Sea Machines is more control-systems-and-robotics than a pure machine-learning product, but its perception and autonomy are genuinely load-bearing — it passes the test as an autonomy vendor. Frame it as autonomous marine control rather than a data-analytics AI, and note that autonomous shipping remains early.
