Everything is running smoothly so far. The configuration of 15° and a 30-second pre-collision window has been well-received by all users to date.

I am thoroughly impressed with the Guardian system. Previously, my severe visual impairment made independent rowing impossible; I required a support vessel to oversee every session. My focus was entirely consumed by following the guide, which compromised my technique, while the guide’s attention was divided between my safety and their own navigation.
Since adopting Guardian, my guide no longer needs to intervene in my steering. The system allows me to navigate the shoreline independently, meaning assistance is only required for approaching vessels or obstacles. This shift has allowed my guide to truly enjoy the experience. For me, this newfound autonomy has translated into improved consistency in cadence, speed, and technical execution. My anxiety has diminished significantly, as communication with my guide is now far more fluid and focused.

Human And Science from field validation to first customers and e-commerce launch
Following strong field validation throughout 2025, Guardian has now reached a new milestone with the selection of early customers who have officially acquired the system at the end of 2025. This first wave of adoption confirms the relevance of the technology in real operational environments and marks the transition from testing phase to commercial deployment.
Buoyed by this success, we are now launching a dedicated e-commerce platform to support the broader rollout of Guardian. This new channel will allow us to promote and distribute the system in multiple formats, along with related products and accessories, making Guardian more accessible to clubs, athletes, and institutions seeking to enhance safety on the water.
