In lieu of Dry Docking, Orobotix Inc (DBA: SeaDrone Inc) provides drone-based end-to-end ship hull inspection solutions that havehad the impact of enableing operators to go beyond diver operations and perform class certified underwater inspections. The firm's ship-hull solution allows an operator accurately to inspect a vessel - and automatically - to create aenerated certified reports that can be quickly can be shared with classification societies. The change means that a process that previously may have taken upwards of ten hours, now only takes only one. Traditional underwater vehicles are complex to setup. The SeaDrone system is designed for extreme expeditionary environments: all sensors are tightly integrated into a purpose-built and consolidated mobile app designed to optimize the operatorsÂ’ workflow. During 2014, a team of Stanford engineers . realized that aerial drone technology was progressing quickly. With prior experience developing ROVs, Orobotics founders realized that various aspects of aerial drone technology potentially could 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.
