Maritime AI Software
Discover cutting-edge solutions from 4 leading global suppliers
Greenroom Robotics, an Australian company specializing in maritime AI and autonomy, has been granted AUKUS Authorised User status by the Australian Government.
This designation, part of the AUKUS trilateral export agreement, allows Greenroom licence-free exports to the United States and United Kingdom. The aim is to expedite the delivery of advanced technologies among the AUKUS nations.
Founded by former Royal Australian Navy engineers and multi-generational mariners, Greenroom Robotics develops navigation and situational awareness software designed to convert vessels into fully autonomous, AI-enabled systems. The company’s AI software is already in use with partners across AUKUS nations, including Austal, the Royal Australian Navy, EGS Survey, and UK-based SubSea Craft. It has also undergone trials with the US Department of Defense.
Harry Hubbert, Chief Operations Officer and Co-Founder at Greenroom Robotics, stated, “We’re delighted to be one of the very first Australian companies to be granted AUKUS Authorised User Status. AUKUS is about much more than just nuclear submarines – it’s about sharing innovation and advanced technologies between the three countries and Greenroom is thrilled to be taking a lead in AUKUS Pillar II.
“Our licence-free approval means US and UK customers can deploy Greenroom’s proven maritime autonomy stack with the speed, flexibility, and assurance needed to meet today’s strategic challenges.”
Discussing the company’s broader mission, Hubbert explained, “At Greenroom Robotics, our mission is to transform maritime operations through autonomy and AI for safe, clean and protected oceans. The maritime environment is especially complex for autonomous systems due to dynamic, unpredictable, and harsh conditions. The ocean’s surface and subsurface are in constant motion, influenced by waves, tides, currents and weather patterns that can change rapidly. These factors impact navigation, sensor performance and communications. There are also whales and other wildlife that need protection.”
He elaborated on the expertise within Greenroom Robotics, “You can’t just put an autonomous system into the ocean and expect it to work. Our decades of experience in the Navy uniquely positions us for the autonomous maritime market and our powerful software platform enables seamless human-machine teams in maritime operations. But our technology is not just about autonomy. It’s about building a future where our oceans remain vibrant and protected, sustaining both economic activity and the natural world for generations to come.”
The Deputy Prime Minister, the Hon Richard Marles MP, previously commented on the trilateral licence-free environment, stating, “These reforms are revolutionising our ability to trade and collaborate with our AUKUS partners and underscore the importance of our partnership with the United States and the United Kingdom under AUKUS.”
