Underwater Vehicle + Infrastructure

Received a significant grant from Tyler Cowen (Emergent Ventures) to develop underwater robotics and infrastructure. The goal is to create a prototype of an underwater charging dock for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to charge their batteries while they are submerged. This will enable AUVs to operate for longer periods of time and perform more complex tasks, eventually allowing for more cost-effective, attritable AUVs for use in the military and commercial applications.

The goal is to build 2 AUVs and one charging dock to validate the system, specifically inductive underwater charging. Will start manufacturing in early 2026.
