About
About Bubble Robotics
Bubble Robotics develops resident surface and subsea robots for continuous monitoring of offshore assets. BubbleDock acts as an autonomous mothership that launches, recovers, recharges and exchanges data with BubbleBot vehicles, enabling missions to remain at sea for periods exceeding six months without an offshore crew.
BubbleBots can carry cameras, sonar, multibeam and side-scan systems, hydrophones, non-destructive-testing equipment and environmental sensors. Bubble OS coordinates navigation, docking, mission replanning and near-real-time analysis from shore. The company owns and operates fleets as a service for wind farms, cables, pipelines, ports, environmental surveys and maritime-security work, delivering inspection datasets and engineering reports to customers.

Bubble Robotics raised $5 million in pre-seed funding to develop autonomous robotic systems for continuous offshore inspection, monitoring, and data collection across energy, environmental, and maritime sectors. Tech.eu reports the round was led by Episode1 Ventures, Asterion Ventures, and Norrsken Evolve, with the company launching out of Entrepreneurs First. Coverage describes a robotics-as-a-service model and resident systems meant to reduce reliance on episodic, vessel-led offshore missions.
