What specific problem are you solving?
Vital global infrastructures—energy networks, telecommunications cables, bridges, and dams—are increasingly placed underwater. Yet, maintaining and inspecting these critical assets remains inefficient and hazardous. Today, companies rely primarily on human divers, exposing them to one of the highest occupational mortality rates and relying on their subjective intuition to assess issues in a challenging, unknown environment. This inefficiency comes at a staggering cost: - $20 billion annually in environmental damage, fines, and cleanup efforts caused by leaks, aging infrastructure, and lost hazardous equipment. - $85 billion annually in lost opportunities due to shutdowns and malfunctioning systems.
