Greenroom Robotics
GAMA - Greenroom Advanced Maritime Autonomy
Greenroom Robotics builds the software backbone for maritime autonomy to deliver safe, clean, and protected oceans. GAMA is our upgrade for boats: a software-first, hardware-agnostic platform that lets existing and new vessels operate remotely or autonomously. Think of it as Android for boats.
Operating as a ‘team’ with human crews, GAMA handles the grind, raising vigilance, shrinking human error, while cutting fuel and emissions through precise control and smarter routing. Designed for dual use, it is proving itself across offshore energy, transport, and naval operations. The result is practical innovation that makes the ocean safer, cleaner, and better protected.
