Orcauboat, established in 2017, is a technology firm specializing in autonomous solutions for water surface maintenance and management. The company was founded by a team of engineers and researchers, including CEO Zhu Jiannan, with strong ties to academic institutions like Tsinghua University and Northwestern Polytechnical University, and industry giants such as Huawei and DJI. This background in robotics and autonomous driving has been central to the company's development.
The company's business revolves around the design and manufacturing of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) for two primary market segments: environmental protection and cultural tourism. Its revenue is generated through the sale of these standardized intelligent vessel systems. Clients include government entities, environmental management companies, and operators of scenic water bodies. Orcauboat operates on a global scale, with its products deployed in over 10 countries across 50 cities, including China, the UK, and Spain.
Orcauboat offers two main product lines. The first is a series of unmanned environmental boats designed for intelligent water maintenance. This includes models like the 'SMURF' and 'TITAN' cleaning boats, and the 'MOSHARK' mowing boat. These vessels automate tasks such as garbage collection, water quality monitoring, security patrols, and harvesting of aquatic plants. The second line consists of intelligent cruising boats, such as the 'Unmanned Cruising Boat XI', which are used for sightseeing, water shuttles, and logistics in scenic areas. A key feature across its products is the proprietary L4-level autonomous driving system, which integrates AI, IoT, and big data to enable autonomous navigation, intelligent obstacle avoidance, and remote operation via a mobile app. The company has also developed a water surface autonomous driving data engine and has released datasets for floating garbage and inland water unmanned driving in collaboration with academic partners.
