OpenOcean Robotics is an early-stage company developing offshore-capable autonomous unmanned energy-harvesting boats.
The company gathers information that can protect at-risk whale species, allow ships to voyage more fuel-efficient routes, crack down on illegal fishing, and enable better understanding of climate change impact.
OpenOcean Robotics' USVs (Un-crewed or Unmanned Surface Vehicles) are equipped with sensors, cameras, and communication devices that have instant access to information captured from anywhere on the ocean. The boats can travel nonstop for months via solar energy capture, without producing any greenhouse gas emissions, noise pollution, or risk of oil spills. The company says USVs are an essential component to creating a digital ocean, or sea IoT.
