We invite you to participate in the development of
Sweden's first autonomous boat in a rural environment. The
tour goes from Floda to Nääs Slott and Nääs Fabriker in the beautiful
Sävelången, near Gothenburg.
Elina, as the boat is called, is electric and can move quietly and softly
over the water. This is an exclusive experience, and after the
launch in the summer of 2026 we want to invite tourists from near and far for a ride.
The project has a successful
Kickstarter behind it.
There, the goal was also to release the entire technical design as
open-source so that anyone can make their boat autonomous,
in the same way that we transform Elina.

Uppdatering #2: Kamera och regelverk
2025-03-10
We have bought a new camera that we are using to record this week's
video, and we have applied for a new Vinnova project. The project aims
to investigate the legislation surrounding remote control of boats
using 6G, XR and AD technology. We don't think it will be granted, but
half dared, half won!
Many thanks for your support!
Update #1: We are finally up and running!
