Core Values
Innovation Through Expertise
Our passionate team of engineers brings years of underwater robotics experience to develop cutting-edge computer vision solutions that push the boundaries of what's possible in subsea technology.
Maritime Excellence in Our DNA
Based in San Diego, we are uniquely positioned to understand and serve the thriving maritime ecosystem, with direct access to naval operations, marine research institutes, and a rich network of oceanographic technology partners.
User-Centric Engineering
We believe your time is valuable and should be spent on your mission, not troubleshooting. That's why we designed robust, plug-and-play systems which combine powerful capabilities with seamless usability.
Industries Served
Defense
Our compact vision solutions enhance the capabilities of critical maritime defenses, while reducing uncertainties and boosting situational awareness. By providing real-time, accurate data, our systems allow autonomous defenses to identify and respond to threats with precision, significantly improving surveillance and strategic decision-making abilities.
Environmental Monitoring
Natural disasters cost the U.S. over $165 billion a year. By enhancing environmental monitoring with advanced vision technology and our computer vision platform, we can improve our ability to predict and prepare for these events.
Aquaculture
For the first time in 2022, the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization reported that more fish were farmed worldwide than harvested from the wild, reaching 223.3 million metric tons of aquatic animals and algae. With our computer vision platform automatically monitoring livestock and nets, farms can increase their efficiency and sustainability to meet the continually growing demand for high-quality seafood.
Maritime Inspection
Marine infrastructure and transportation requires regular inspections to prevent costly failures and maintain safety standards. Our advanced vision systems enable detailed underwater inspection of ships, offshore platforms, and port facilities with unprecedented clarity.
Industrial Cleaning
The global industrial cleaning market demands vision solutions that can withstand harsh operating environments, and resistance to corrosive cleaning agents, all while providing clear imaging.
Subsea Exploration & Mapping
With less than 20% of the ocean floor mapped in high resolution, the demand for advanced underwater mapping technology continues to grow. Our compact vision solutions deliver the high-quality imaging needed for detailed seafloor mapping, archaeological surveys, and scientific research.
Our Journey So Far
2021-2022
We started out in San Diego with a simple goal: make high-quality subsea sensors easier to get and use.
That led us to build the exploreHD.
A compact, powerful underwater camera that proved good marine tech doesn't have to be out of reach.
2023-2024
When the exploreHD caught on, it quickly became clear just how much the industry needed better, more versatile underwater vision. We expanded our lineup to keep up, building specialized cameras for almost every environment.
From Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs) and observation-class ROVs all the way to Work-Class ROVs (WROVs) operating at full ocean depth.
2025 and Beyond
Now, we're looking past just getting a clear video feed. We want to give the next generation of autonomous subsea fleets the spatial awareness they need to actually understand their surroundings.
- Advanced Machine Vision: We're building high-speed imaging with custom distortion-free optics. We've added microsecond frame syncing for multi-camera arrays and integrated strobe triggering to freeze high-speed motion, even in pitch black.
- 3D Spatial Perception: We're rolling out real-time stereo vision for 3D mapping and point-cloud generation. This works all the way down to 11,000 meters, letting robots navigate and interact with the deep sea in full 3D.
We're moving from just showing you the ocean to helping your systems navigate and map it.
