One Boat
Operating System
One vessel. One operating system. One digital log book — every channel, source and fault, time-stamped.
It looks like an EV. It retires the MFD.
OBOS is the utility layer for the whole boat. Power, digital switching, video, navigation and sail control answer to one system instead of a dozen black boxes wired together. The vessel runs as software — and keeps a complete, time-stamped record of itself while it does.
Ten modules, four layers, one backbone.
Each module is independent and time-stamped, yet speaks the same language over a single 48 volt spine. Quasar runs the boat — power, switching, video and logs.
-
01
Power
130 kWh of solid-state lithium on a 48V backbone.
-
02
Digital Switching
48V in, 12/24V out — at the node, dimmable.
-
03
Video
360° cameras with on-device AI perception and 77 GHz docking radar.
-
04
Electrical Logs
Every channel, source and fault — time-stamped to the log book.
-
05
Navigation
Big screens for charts, radar, AIS and routing. The MFD retires.
-
06
Sail-by-Wire & Auto-Steer
Holds a wind angle as it shifts.
-
07
Sailing Auto-Controls
Sheets, traveller and daggerboards under software command.
-
08
Auto-Sailing
Sails to a waypoint on its own.
-
09
Engine Integration
Gear, throttle, ignition and RPM.
-
10
Auto-Docking
Docks on differential thrust.
Stacked top to bottom
The boat answers to “Hey OBOS.”
An AI controller sits above the utility layer — a conversational large language model running on-device, with vision and perception, optimising the vessel as conditions change. Dual compute pairs an NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX with a Compute Module 5.
- VOICE
“Hey OBOS” natural-language control across every module.
- ON-DEVICE LLM
Conversational reasoning that runs offshore with no internet.
- PERCEPTION
Vision and 360° awareness feed docking and collision logic.
- AI HUB
Dual compute — Jetson Orin NX paired with CM5.
A second vessel, in the cloud.
The full vessel log is replicated to a digital twin for the owner, remote engineering and warranty management. Sail beyond coverage and OBOS keeps its own complete record — the twin reconciles the moment you are back in range.
130kWh
Solid-state lithium on a 48 volt backbone, stepped down to 12/24V at the node and dimmable where it lands.
- BACKBONE
- 48V
- CAPACITY
- 130 kWh
- CHEMISTRY
- Solid-state lithium
- DISTRIBUTION
- 12 / 24V at node
Helms, ribbons and Quasar stations.
Sunlight-readable OBOS helms run the boat; Quasar stations carry a full 3D view of the vessel into every space aboard.
