Oshen - Autonomous Sailing Robots
Hosted by Solent LN
About
Each C-Star is navigable, persistent, and designed to operate as part of a distributed network.
Oshen C-Stars have logged sea miles to circumnavigate the globe multiple times, are already trusted by government agencies operating in high-risk environments, and are the world's only surface robots to enter and survive a category 5 hurricane.
Anahita gave a talk last year and is kindly returning again to tell us about Oshen's latest developments and deployments.
This is a talk via Teams, starting at 19:00

Speakers
Anahita Laverack
CEO & Co-Founder at Oshen - Oshen
Background: Holding a degree in Aeronautical Engineering from Imperial College London, Anahita completed her Master's in the design and navigation of transatlantic autonomous micro-vessels. Prior to co-founding Oshen, she worked as a robotics engineer at start-up KinKeepers.
Present day: Anahita currently oversees Oshen's strategic development and hardware design, applying her specialised knowledge to advance autonomous marine sensing technologies.
Fun fact: A keen sailor, Anahita maintains that an underlying motivation for providing ocean data for better forecasts was born in 2020, after having to double-handed sail continuously for 3 days to try outrun a poorly forecast storm.
