US marine robotics company offering biomimetic fish-shaped AUVs that collect real-time subsurface water quality, security, and environmental data.
Aquaai Corporation was founded in 2014 by Simeon Pieterkosky and Liane Thompson and is headquartered in San Diego (Coronado), California, with operations in Norway and the UAE. The company develops fish-shaped autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) using biomimicry to blend into aquatic environments for unobtrusive monitoring. Its platform carries plug-and-play sensors measuring water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity, along with 360-degree cameras, avoidance sensors, GPS, and AI-driven computer vision for anomaly detection.
Aquaai markets its service under the Fish-as-a-Service (FaaS) model targeting aquaculture operators, water utilities, ports, marine protected areas, and coastal authorities. The robot is deployable by one person and capable of up to one year of in-water operation via inductive charging. Aquaai has raised approximately $1.6M and graduated from Creative Destruction Lab.
It received the European Commission Seal of Excellence and won the Top Aquaculture Innovation Award at the Fish 2.0 Stanford Global Forum in 2019.
