Current Updates From SeaRobotics

Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs) represent one of the fastest growing markets in the ocean tech space. Applications vary, but the deployment for multidisciplinary marine survey, offshore surveillance missions, and search and recovery operations are among the most notable of late. While ASVs come in a range of vehicle classes—which broadly determine their size, weight, and payload capacity—the underlying premise that unites this expanding ecosystem of smart vehicles is sustainable operational efficiency: less resources in the field yield more cost-effective and safe exploration of often hazardous or hard-to-access waters.

SeaRobotics Corporation (SeaRobotics), a leading developer of marine robotics and autonomous systems, announced today that it will be unveiling a new collection of customizable Autonomous Water Platforms (AWPs) specifically designed for the themed entertainment industry during the IAAPA Expo in Orlando, Florida, which will be held at the Orange County Convention Center from 16 – 19 November.

SeaRobotics Corporation (SeaRobotics), a leading developer of marine robotics and autonomous systems, has been awarded a U.S. Navy Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract to develop a CRawling Amphibious Breacher (CRAB), an amphibious robotic crawler capable of proofing shoreline assault lanes and neutralizing explosive and non-explosive obstacles to ensure clear landing zones for Armed Forces personnel.

SeaRobotics Corporation (SeaRobotics), a leading developer of marine robotics and autonomous systems, has announced the development of a new multi-mission autonomous surface vessel (ASV) in partnership with The Fisheries and Marine Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland (Marine Institute). The SR-Endurance 8.0, the latest model from SeaRobotics’ Endurance Class of ASVs, was designed to enhance the Marine Institute’s training and research program in ocean mapping, observation and characterization.

As the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season (June 1 through November 30) officially gets underway, NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center is urging residents up and down the down the US eastern seaboard and in and around the Gulf of Mexico to take all necessary precaution as, once again, meteorological forecasts favor “above normal” storm activity.

The parallels between advanced marine robotics and theme park rollercoasters may appear only fleeting at first glance, but specialized engineering for the theme park industry has always been an important part of the SeaRobotics service portfolio. Our mainstay ocean industry customers—mostly commercial and military entities looking to invest in Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV) technology—are usually surprised to hear that we have a well-established client list in the entertainment industry. “So, you guys build rollercoasters, too?” they often quiz.
