AIRPORT ROBOTS TAKE OFF
CTV News covers passenger-assistance robots answering questions and guiding travellers at Halifax Stanfield.
What we do
Smart Devices
We help you source and integrate devices that fit your use case—from guidance robots, kiosks and smart screens to vehicle-mounted cameras and edge computers.
Custom Software
We build custom apps and interfaces for smart devices, including mobile control, branded interactions, inspection workflows and reporting dashboards.
Research and Development
We partner with Dalhousie University to advance research on natural language processing, computer vision, navigation and artificial intelligence, while developing custom robotic systems locally in Nova Scotia.
Strategic Planning
We help teams evaluate technology, plan system integration and move from pilot projects to reliable day-to-day operations.
Security
We design connected and cloud-based systems with encrypted communications, controlled access and privacy-conscious data handling.

Maritime Robotics is a young company, but we're already making a big impact! Check out some of our news coverage!
Our Work
It all started once upon a lab...
In 2018, we assembled our first bot in Dalhousie ACM lab, with 3d computer vision & navigation. The bot was tailored by our us to restaurants and showcased the state of the art. From there, the possibilities of what we could do with this technology struck us, but more work was needed.
We needed custom software to tailor each bot to our unique clients. Computer vision, facial recognition, and other exciting tech paled in comparrison to the impression users got from seeing their own fully-customized branding and user experience take shape on the robot's screen.
We remain proudly rooted in Halifax, where our team designs, integrates and supports systems built for real local needs.
We source globally and build locally.
You may have seen some of our hardware and custom software in stores, restaurants, or other spaces around Halifax.
Great things are on the way. If you want to see what we can do for you and your space, contact us.
AI ROAD INSPECTION
See the road. Understand the work.
Vehicle-mounted imaging, practical computer vision and one traceable workflow for municipal road maintenance.
01 / FIELD DETECTION
Multiple road conditions. One review standard.
Each detection remains connected to its original frame, confidence and location so reviewers can verify what the system found.
02 / VEHICLE KIT
Built for everyday fleet vehicles
A compact camera, dashboard-mounted tablet and in-cabin edge computer turn a municipal pickup into a repeatable inspection platform.
- Enclosed roof-mounted industrial camera
- GNSS-linked capture and route records
- Edge preparation before secure upload
03 / OPERATIONS PLATFORM
Evidence becomes an actionable record
Explore routes, review detections, prioritize work and follow every issue through resolution.
AIRPORT ROBOT NAVIGATION
Ask a question. Follow the robot.
A deployed passenger-experience platform that combines safe indoor mobility, conversational assistance and autonomous terminal operations.
DEPLOYED AT HALIFAX STANFIELD
LIVE PROJECT
Passenger support that can move with the traveller
Two custom-built robots provide voice and touchscreen access to flight, weather and terminal information, then physically guide passengers to supported destinations.
Vision Detection & avoidance
Voice + Touch Passenger interaction
Pre-security Active service area
01 / ROBOT PLATFORM
One platform. Three systems.
Interaction, vision and mobility—built into one robot.
01 / INTERFACE
Touch · Voice · Guidance
02 / DEPTH VISION
Recognize · Avoid
03 / SMART CHASSIS
Navigate · Patrol
02 / VISUAL NAVIGATION
Guidance designed for shared public space
The mobility stack continuously reads the terminal around the robot, adjusts speed near people and reroutes around temporary obstacles.
- Human-aware obstacle avoidance
- Indoor positioning and route following
- Safe stop and dynamic replanning
AUTONOMOUS PATROL ACTIVE

03 / AUTONOMOUS PATROL
Useful between passenger requests
Scheduled patrols extend the same perception and navigation stack into repeatable terminal coverage, with exceptions recorded for staff review.
- Scheduled or on-demand routes
- Automatic checkpoint verification
- Remote status and exception records
HOSPITALITY SERVICE ROBOTS
Service that keeps moving
AI-enabled robots support food delivery, guest reception and venue navigation in restaurants and event spaces.
