Blue Atlas Robotics builds robots that produce visual 3D maps of underwater surfaces. We believe that sight is a crucial tool for the optimal maintenance of underwater assets. Visual underwater inspection has until now been limited by poor water visibility and the expense of inspecting over large areas. Our robots overcome these barriers by using unique autopilot features to keep our innovative camera system moving swiftly and efficiently over underwater surfaces, while remaining as close as 20cm for maximum clarity.
