Sea Machines Robotics

Sea Machines Robotics builds autonomous command-and-control systems (SM300-SP, SM300-NG) and computer-vision perception (AI-ris) for commercial and defense marine vessels. In September 2025 it announced the SMLink Streaming-API and SMLink Control-API, partner-gated interfaces that stream real-time vessel telemetry to external systems and let approved third parties command SM300 autonomy functions from their own mission software. These interfaces are embedded, vessel-side product features, not a self-service public developer platform; access is arranged through Sea Machines sales.

Sea Machines Robotics publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: SMLink Streaming-API and SMLink Control-API. Tagged areas include Marine, Autonomy, Robotics, Maritime, and Computer Vision.

Sea Machines Robotics’ developer surface includes documentation, engineering blog, and 6 more developer resources.
