Nauticus dives into future of underwater robotics

Analysis:
Right now, less than 10% of the ocean has been explored or mapped, which is why many researchers see this area as being ripe for opportunity. Marine environments are also very difficult for humans to access, for exploration or upkeep of existing off-shore assets, creating the perfect environment to use robots. Nauticus’ technology means offshore industries can safely manage their assets without putting a single human life in danger. What would traditionally require a full crew of offshore staff can now be done by an untethered, remotely operated, and more precise robot. The company has already put its robots to use by collaborating on projects with the US Military and private partners like Shell. – Brianna Wessling
