Nauticus Robotics’ Aquanaut Mark 2 reaches new ultra deepwater depth

Nauticus Robotics (KITT)’ flagship underwater vehicle, Aquanaut Mark 2, reached a new depth record of 2,300 meters underwater, 240 kilometers off the coast of Louisiana. Aquanaut is a fully electric-operated autonomous untethered underwater vehicle, currently under testing, that images subsea structures, such as manifolds, trees and pipelines, and is capable of performing seabed scanning, leak detection, obstacle avoidance, and close visual inspection. The company estimates that oil and gas customers will save between 30 and 40 percent by using the Aquanaut.
