Avikus NEUBOAT is an autonomous navigation solution for leisure boats, designed for both novice and experienced boaters. According to the U.S. Coast Guard, 81% of fatal boating accidents are attributed to operator error. To address this, NEUBOAT goes beyond a standard chartplotter by using sensor fusion technology to display real-time obstacle data and suggest collision avoidance routes. Its advanced features aim to enhance safety and ease for all users. Additionally, six onboard cameras provide users with a surround view, enabling safer and easier docking.
