Overview

Hullbot is an autonomous underwater robot designed to clean and inspect vessel hulls, countering marine biofouling through a combination of robust hardware and sophisticated software. It enables high-frequency cleaning, reducing fuel use and emissions by keeping hulls in optimal condition. The system eliminates the need for biocidal coatings, offering environmental benefits such as less fuel consumption, carbon emissions, and microplastics in the ocean. The technology is designed with the end user in mind, providing quantifiable results and working closely with customers to ensure effectiveness.
