What are the benefits of Robotic Buoys?
Quick and simple
Forget the lengthy and complicated installation processes associated with conventional buoys. Our Robotic buoys are designed for swift and straightforward deployment, eliminating the need for divers, winches or complex mooring systems. Simply activate, position, and you’re ready to start the competition!
Adaptability to Wind Changes
Thanks to a powerful set of thrusters and integrated GPS technology, you can change the position of your buoys at the tap of a button. This means you can set up your course with ease and allows for a quick response to changing wind conditions.
Green and flexible
Our Robotic buoys are not only efficient and safe but also durable, so that you can use them time and time again and reduce any reliance on disposable materials. Their remote control functionality also reduces fuel consumption when course setting, thereby saving you money and actively contribute to a more sustainable future.
Flexible Buoy Rental for Your Events
Our buoy rental service is all about making things easier and more affordable for your water events. When you hire from us, you avoid the hefty initial costs of buying equipment. You only pay for the buoys you need and only for the time you use them. This approach is not only cheaper than buying but also saves you the hassle and expense of storage and upkeep.
Hassle-Free Setup
We also offer the option to hire a trained technician who will attend your event to help set up and manage the buoys. They can take care of delivery and ensure everything runs smoothly on the day, leaving you to concentrate on the other important details of your event.
The technical details behind the Robotic Buoys
Compact and Visible Design
The buoy stands out with its compact dimensions, featuring a diameter of 1.4 meters and a height of 1.25 meters. This design ensures it remains highly visible while maintaining excellent manoeuvrability on the water.
Advanced Remote Control System
The buoy is equipped with a sophisticated remote control system, utilising LTE connectivity and the innovative Pulsar&Stay technology. This feature allows for precise and agile handling from either a boat or the shore, providing real-time operability. The remote control system enhances the user experience by offering seamless control over the buoy's functions and positioning.
Lightweight for Easy Deployment
Weighing just 22 kg, including the battery, the buoy is lightweight, making it easy to transport and deploy. This portability is a significant advantage for users needing a reliable and quick-setting system for marine monitoring and data collection.
Powerful Propulsion Options
Designed to perform in even challenging conditions, the buoy can be equipped with either 2 or 4 tilting thrusters. These thrusters come in power options of 780 W or 1560 W, ensuring efficient and controlled movement across the water.
Real World Uses of the Robotic Buoys
The GiPSy buoy was officially selected for use at the 2024 Olympic Games. Other notable users of the GiPSy Robotic Buoy include the French Sailing Federation (FFVoile), the Italian Sailing Federation (FIV), Windmade Chile, the Southern League, and the Danish Sailing League.
