A Hundred Eyes on Every Beach.
Argus Watch is a portable AI-assisted coastal safety platform designed to help lifeguards monitor designated swimming areas and respond faster when every second matters. Inspired by Argus Panoptes, the hundred-eyed guardian of Greek mythology, it acts as an intelligent extra set of eyes on every lifeguard tower.
Argus Watch is a portable monitoring system that uses AI and computer vision to continuously observe designated swimming areas and alert lifeguards when potentially dangerous situations are detected.
The platform is designed specifically for the realities of Greek beaches.
Set up in minutes, anywhere on the coast.
No fixed infrastructure required.
Continuous, tireless observation.
Instant awareness the moment it counts.
Built for municipalities, resorts and beach operators.
Our first prototype focuses on computer vision and intelligent monitoring capabilities.
Detects when swimmers drift beyond designated swimming areas.
Flags unusual movement patterns that may indicate danger.
Alerts when swimmers enter off-limits areas.
Recognises high-risk swimmer behaviour early.
Identifies crowded or hazardous situations.
Surfaces situations requiring immediate lifeguard attention.
Argus Watch is designed to assist lifeguards — not replace them.
Every alert is intended to provide an additional layer of situational awareness and help professionals make faster and better decisions.
Argus Watch is being designed as a modular coastal safety platform. Future capabilities may include:
Our vision is to build the most intelligent and portable coastal safety platform for beaches and waterfront environments.
Two interfaces we are designing — a focused console for the lifeguard on the tower, and a command center for operators watching many beaches at once.
The single-beach view for the lifeguard on duty — live tracking, drift alerts, and an event log.
The multi-beach overview for municipalities and operators — every deployment, one screen.
Interface concepts shown for illustration. Data is simulated.
Argus Watch is initially designed for the organisations that keep our coastlines safe.
Deploy it in minutes. Protect what matters.
Portable deployment means no expensive infrastructure or permanent installations are required.
OMiRoS is a robotics and innovation lab based on the island of Chios, Greece. We build practical robotics and AI solutions that solve real-world problems — from STEM education to intelligent safety systems.
Argus Watch is our first coastal safety initiative, combining robotics, computer vision and edge AI to improve swimmer safety across Greek beaches and beyond.
We believe technology should augment human capabilities, especially when lives may depend on faster and better decisions.
