MindChip Remote Pilot

MindChip provides modular control and autonomy solutions for unmanned and remotely operated vessels. The Artificial Captain product family enables customers to start with reliable remote operation and upgrade seamlessly to full autonomous capability as operational needs grow.

MindChip Remote is entry level product of Artificial Captain product line that enables remote vessel operation with autopilot, mission management, live video, telemetry, and redundant communications. The vessel follows waypoints autonomously, but situational awareness, obstacle avoidance, and collision avoidance remain the responsibility of the remote operator.

Vessel Remote Operation

Full vessel operation through a secure web-based user interface or a rugged tablet control panel. Operators can remotely steer the vessel, monitor status in real time, and assign predefined missions.

Autonomous Route Execution

The vessel autonomously follows waypoints and executes planned routes. Responsibility for monitoring surroundings and avoiding obstacles remains with the operator.

Mission Management

Plan, schedule, and manage missions with an intuitive interface. Customize routes, set precise timings, and scale to meet varying operational needs.

IMO Degree Level 3

The vessel with MindChip Remote is controlled and operated from a remote-control centre, and no personnel are present onboard.

Over the Horizon Control

The MindChip web-based user interface delivers real-time telemetry, comprehensive vessel diagnostics, and continuous fault monitoring. Designed for operational flexibility, it supports multi-screen setups and immersive 360° live camera streaming.

The platform enables advanced mission management, including patrol operations, precise waypoint navigation, and rapid mission tasking. Operators can also seamlessly control payloads and auxiliary onboard systems from a single, unified interface.

Portable control

In addition, the operator can control the robotic vessel using a tablet- or mobile-based application, which enables remote vessel control via an on-screen joystick, while simultaneously maintaining real-time situational awareness through live camera streams of the vessel’s surroundings. Application is available for both iOS and Android operating systems.
