ORCAUBOAT develops autonomous driving systems and unmanned surface vessels designed for water body maintenance, environmental monitoring, and maritime operations. Operating across more than ten countries with nearly a thousand active units, the technology company leverages artificial intelligence and robotics to replace manual labor in hazardous aquatic environments.

Core product offerings include the SMURF line of cleaning robots, engineered to automate floating garbage collection, aquatic weed harvesting, and water quality testing across urban waterways, reservoirs, and commercial ports. These autonomous systems streamline daily routine maintenance while delivering consistent environmental data to shore-based operators.

Beyond cleaning craft, the developer produces autonomous rigid inflatable boats for emergency rescue operations and yacht tender duties, combining lightweight stability with high-speed maneuverability. The proprietary Advanced Pilot Assistance System delivers full closed-loop perception, collision avoidance, and automated docking, holding the world’s first CCS Type Approval Certificate for autonomous navigation.

By combining deep multi-sensor datasets with full-stack software and heavy-duty hull engineering, the tech firm provides scalable, safe alternatives to traditional marine oversight. These integrated robotic platforms allow commercial operators, municipal water authorities, and maritime facilities to optimize aquatic maintenance with minimal environmental risk.
