Bridging the gap between legacy marine hardware and the future of autonomous navigation shouldn’t require a complete system overhaul. 🌊🤖
Today, I’m excited to introduce the CANaBUS Mini—a professional-grade autonomy controller designed to transform conventional vessels into sophisticated Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs).
What’s under the hood?
Triple Independent CAN Architecture: Three isolated CAN 2.0B interfaces for simultaneous, conflict-free connection to engines, steering, and navigation.
Industrial-Grade Build: Housed in an IP69K-rated automotive enclosure with marine-grade connectors.
Real-Time Processing: 600MHz ARM Cortex-M7
Whether you're building a standalone CAN translator or a full-scale autonomous fleet, the CANaBUS Mini provides the industrial-strength foundation you need.

Car interfaces keep gaining features, but experience gets lost in complexity. With River, we stripped that back: only surface what the driver needs, when they need it.
We wanted the HMI to belong to the car, not sit on top. So we designed both as one system: car, interior, cluster, main display, app.
Rive was key to bringing the whole system to life. We used joysticks and blend states to animate the cluster gauges, solos to play back a pre-rendered Blender navigation scene on the central display, and state machine inputs to bring the whole prototype to life.
We then built a companion app and plugged it into a manufacturer's API to test against real vehicle data. The app works like a key: gives you access and gets out of the way. Just the right function at the right moment.
One ecosystem where every screen earns its place.
This is so good it almost feels unreal. Incredible work and amazing efforts! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
We are combining 3 main HMI experiences from 2 vehicles into a unified entry.
Having a lot of fun on this one!
Expect the official entry soon.
Can you guess what they are?
