Boat Brain.

An onboard edge-AI computer for the boat. Boat Brain logs NMEA 2000 and Signal K sensor data, runs local AI inference on a fanless Jetson, and syncs home over Tailscale the moment you're back in range.

What it does

Intelligence at the helm — even offline.

Fanless Jetson Orin NX

16GB of edge compute, ruggedized for the marine environment — no moving parts, no drama.

NMEA 2000 + Signal K

Logs the boat's full sensor picture — depth, wind, position, and more — continuously.

Offline inference

Local AI that keeps working far from any cell tower or marina Wi-Fi.

Tailscale sync

When you're back in range, it syncs cleanly to the home astrolabe-edge node over a private mesh.

Built to last

A computer that expects salt, vibration, and long passages — designed for the helm, not a desk.

Part of the fleet

One edge node in a private compute mesh that spans boat and home.

Part of the Astrolabe constellation.

One studio, a set of precise instruments. Boat Brain shares the same engineering DNA as everything else we build.
