OST has been aiding the French company – which specializes in developing cutting-edge robotic platforms designed for waste collection, rescue operations, and aquatic data collection – to showcase its innovative technologies across our platforms. By integrating eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient systems, and intelligent automation, AGISTAR is setting new standards for innovation and sustainability in the maritime industry.
With a strong foundation in robotics and a global network of partners, AGISTAR continuously pushes the boundaries of aquatic technology. The company’s USVs offer impressive versatility, allowing users to configure platforms for specific missions while reducing environmental impact.
BX-USV: A Versatile, Reconfigurable Platform
AGISTAR’s BX-USV is a lightweight, compact autonomous vessel designed for diverse marine applications. With a 10 kg payload capacity, it provides nearly unlimited customization possibilities, making it a cost-effective alternative to crewed vessels in constrained or hazardous environments.
Powered by standard 12Ah lithium batteries, with an option for 40Ah batteries extending missions beyond two hours, the BX-USV features two culvert thrusters positioned to minimize entanglement risks. Its 2.4 GHz communications link ensures reliable long-range remote operation, with additional Bluetooth and wired connection support.
The vessel’s spacious dry payload bays enable seamless integration of electronics and sensors. Payload options include automatic sampling apparatus, water quality monitoring instruments, ADCPs, and side-scan sonars, enhancing the system’s adaptability across various research and monitoring applications.
AGISTAR CLEANER: Compact USV for Waste Removal
Designed to improve water quality in hard-to-reach areas, the AGISTAR CLEANER is a portable, easy-to-deploy robotic vessel optimized for collecting floating waste and debris. Its compact size allows it to navigate waterways inaccessible to traditional cleanup vessels, protecting marine environments while improving efficiency.
Equipped with three different net mesh size options, the AGISTAR CLEANER can collect up to 10 kg of waste per mission. The lithium battery-powered unit provides up to four hours of continuous operation and features an onboard 1080p camera for real-time monitoring and video recording.
The system is available in both standard and Pro versions, with the latter integrating AI-powered waste detection and automated collection for enhanced efficiency.
AGISTAR LIFE: Fast-Acting Remote-Controlled Lifebuoy
AGISTAR LIFE is a high-speed, remote-controlled lifebuoy engineered for rapid rescue response. Capable of reaching speeds of up to 18 km/h—five times faster than a human lifeguard—it significantly enhances the speed and effectiveness of water rescues.
With a high-buoyancy design, AGISTAR LIFE supports up to three adults simultaneously and remains operational even in strong currents and breaking waves. The unit operates regardless of orientation, allowing rescuers to simply throw it into the water and guide it remotely to the victim. Additionally, an automatic return function ensures the unit returns to base in the event of communication loss with the controller.
OXR-T100: Zero-Emissions Propulsion for Inflatable Boats
The OXR-T100 is an innovative electric propulsion system designed for inflatable boats, offering a zero-emission alternative for shallow and challenging water environments. Boats can be equipped with two to four OXR-T100 units, which automatically synchronize for optimal propulsion.
With a design that ensures safe navigation in floods, shallow waters, and debris-heavy environments, the OXR-T100 features ducted propellers that reduce entanglement risks while improving safety. The system is easy to install and can be deployed or removed in just three minutes. Operators can control the system remotely and opt for an additional 4G module for enhanced connectivity.
AGISTAR’s innovative solutions reflect its commitment to sustainability, performance, and adaptability. By developing state-of-the-art robotic platforms for aquatic environments, AGISTAR is empowering industries, researchers, and environmental organizations to operate more efficiently and responsibly on the water.
