Hull interface
Temporary attachment and controlled release, engineered for compatible surface condition, curvature and load case.
Integrated marine robotics
A manoeuvring system—not simply a thruster.
Towbot brings together the hull interface, load path, propulsion, energy, sensors, communications, operator control and safety logic in one detachable platform.
Propulsion
Twin electric manoeuvring propulsors with directional control configured around the vessel and required force.
Energy
Battery, BMS, distribution, thermal and ingress protection, with charging strategy matched to service demand.
Awareness
Cameras, lighting, navigation sensors, position information, equipment health and operational logging.
Communication
Authenticated command links, restricted access and defined degraded or loss-of-link behaviour.
Human control
Operator HMI, emergency stop, assisted functions and autonomous capability bounded by deterministic safe states.
Patented foundation
Patented technology for underwater vessel manoeuvring.
Built on patented technology and continuing marine-engineering innovation.
