Nauticus Robotics is a robotics company founded 2014, based in United States, developing 1 robot primarily in the Research category.
Rebooting ocean services with tetherless, autonomous robots from surface to seabed for energy, aquaculture, and security.
Nauticus Robotics builds autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) like the Aquanaut Mk2, a 4.2-ton, battery-powered subsea robot capable of remote or autonomous operation. The Aquanaut performs inspection of offshore wind, oil & gas infrastructure, valve operation, and seabed manipulation. Buyers include offshore energy operators and aquaculture firms in the Gulf of Mexico and global markets. Key differentiators include untethered AI-enabled autonomy, station-keeping in currents up to 1.5 knots, and a 3000m depth rating.
