- [Home](https://roboat.tech/): Efficiency is becoming critical and crews are getting scarcer. One Roboat system carries your fleet from smarter operations today to autonomous operations tomorrow.
- [System](https://roboat.tech/system): Roboat's commercial vessel automation system: sensors, compute and controls retrofitted to your fleet and integrated with the suppliers you already use. No black boxes, full access to your data, commissioned in weeks.
- [Autonomous ferry systems](https://roboat.tech/solutions/ferries): Roboat retrofits passenger ferries with a dock-to-dock automation system: autocrossing, autodocking and dynamic positioning. Proven on GVB's Amsterdam IJ ferries. Commissioned in weeks, no vendor lock-in.
- [Case study — GVB IJ ferries](https://roboat.tech/cases/gvb-ijveer): How Amsterdam's GVB operates Roboat-equipped IJ ferries: autocrossing, autodocking and dynamic positioning in daily passenger service. A commercial vessel-automation case study.
- [Case study — Ferry of the Future](https://roboat.tech/cases/ferry-of-the-future): Roboat's Ferry of the Future demonstrator, built with Holland Shipyards Group: a 3D-printed, fully electric passenger ferry for up to 35 people that has operated on the water in Paris.
- [Case study — Watertaxi](https://roboat.tech/cases/watertaxi): Lucy, Roboat's on-demand watertaxi demonstrator: an automated vessel carrying up to six passengers point-to-point, easing pressure on a city's bridges and streets.
- [Case study — Waste Container](https://roboat.tech/cases/waste-container): Roboat's Waste Container demonstrator: an autonomous waste-collection vessel that moves refuse quietly over the water, a round-the-clock alternative to road-based garbage trucks.
- [Case study — Praxis Automation](https://roboat.tech/cases/praxis-automation): Roboat's system operational with Praxis Automation: commanding the onboard dynamic positioning system and adding situational awareness for the crew, integrated with existing hardware.
- [Case study — Zoev City Barge](https://roboat.tech/cases/zoev-city-barge): Roboat's system on a Zoev City electric cargo barge: vessel control and situational awareness for zero-emission urban logistics, moving freight over the water instead of through the streets.
