The VOYAGER AI Simulator is a powerful maritime simulation environment designed to work with Robosys’ VOYAGER AI Autonomous Navigation System.

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

The simulator enables operators and manufacturers to create digital twins of vessels or USVs by simulating engine performance, onboard sensors and navigational data. This allows teams to replicate real-world vessel behaviour within a controlled virtual or immersive environment.

The platform also supports the modelling of multiple vessel tracks, enabling users to build complex maritime traffic scenarios and conduct quantitative testing and analysis. These capabilities allow organisations to evaluate system performance and safety under realistic
operational conditions.

The system supports the testing of COLREGs-compliant collision avoidance behaviour in simulated maritime environments, while enabling both shore-based simulation and immersive operational testing. In addition, the platform can ingest live maritime traffic data and generate
augmented traffic scenarios for enhanced operational testing and training.

The simulator also enables complex seaborne mission rehearsal planning, allowing operators to design, test and refine operational scenarios before vessels are deployed in real-world conditions.

The VOYAGER Simulator incorporates an integrated ENC display, providing accurate chart-based navigation environments to support realistic maritime simulation. Its drag-and-drop scenario creation tools allow users to quickly build and modify simulation scenarios, enabling
rapid configuration and testing.

The platform also supports Remote Piloting (RP) testing and can integrate with third-party hardware controllers to replicate realistic remote vessel operations. In addition, the system supports testing at Degree 4 autonomy, enabling comprehensive validation of advanced autonomous navigation capabilities.

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 operational performance and reliability.
