OUR STORY
HISTORY OF SEADRONE INC.
OROBOTIX INC. (DBA: SEADRONE INC.) provides drone-based end-to-end ship hull inspection solutions that enable operators to go beyond diver operations and perform class certified underwater inspections in lieu of Dry Docking. SeaDrone's ship hull solution allows an operator to accurately inspect a vessel and create automatically generated certified reports that can be quickly shared with classification societies. A process that used to take ten hours now only takes one.
Unlike traditional underwater vehicles that are complex to setup, the SeaDrone system is designed for extreme expeditionary environments and all sensors are tightly integrated into a purpose-built and consolidated mobile app designed to optimize the operators’ workflow.
SeaDrone Inc. grew of a team of researchers from the Stanford University Robotics AI Laboratory. In 2014, aerial drone technology was progressing quickly. With prior experience developing ROVs, O-Robotix’s founders saw how some aerial drone and AI robotics technology could radically transform the subsea robotics space.
SeaDrone continues to invest in developing user-friendly robotic vehicles by making them more autonomous and focusing on the entire user workflow, including post-processing data and working with regulatory agencies to certify data collection methods to meet the needs of the maritime, oil and gas, and defense sectors.
MISSION
Because our customers are focused on running with purpose every day, we design vehicles that help our customers go faster and farther while pushing the limits of their day and equipment. That is why our goal is to ensure SeaDrone customers maximize their up-time in the field while ensuring safety and compliance.
VISION
SeaDrone is changing the subsea inspection experience using affordable and reliable robotic hardware driven by purpose-built mobile software. Our underwater vehicles are designed to be launched and mastered in minutes while equipped to tackle diverse missions and environments.
TEAM
SeaDrone is a 100% founder-owned business started by engineering graduates in the Stanford Robotics AI Lab. We have a small and highly skilled engineering team located in the San Francisco Bay Area.
BELIEFS
We believe in challenging how you interact with the world. We believe that better data promotes better decision making, and we believe in making sub-sea inspections safer and more efficient.
