Sun Robotics is a UK company developing Long-Endurance Maritime Robots. 

Why a Solar Maritime Robots?

Maritime border surveillance is very costly. 􏰀In fact, as per today, maritime borders are usually surveyed by large-manned vessels (frigate, patrol boat, radars, drones, etc.) or satellite-based technologies. Sun Robotics Ltd vision is to enable low-cost maritime border surveillance against illegal activities (human trafficking, illegal fishing, pollution, etc.). Our main product is a hybrid system made of Solar-powered Unmanned and Autonomous Surface Vessels (USVs) that hosts an aerial drone for maritime border surveillance. Key features of our solution are the ability of the drone to take-off and land autonomously in a pad located onboard the USV.
