Ocean Infinity
Marine robotics company operating large uncrewed surface vessels and AUVs/ROVs for remote ocean survey and seabed operations.
Ocean Infinity is a marine robotics company founded in 2017 with operations centered in Austin, Texas and Southampton, United Kingdom. The company specializes in large-scale marine robotic operations, deploying uncrewed and autonomous systems to capture high-resolution ocean and seabed data and to deliver offshore survey, inspection and intervention services with a reduced environmental footprint. Ocean Infinity is building what it describes as the world's largest fleet of marine robotic vehicles, organized into two fleets: the Armada fleet of robotic surface vessels and the Infinity fleet of autonomous underwater vehicles. The Armada vessels are designed to be controlled and operated remotely by experienced mariners via satellite from onshore control centers in Austin and Southampton, removing the need for crew at sea on future sailings.
The fleet ranges from smaller uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) up to the 78-meter Armada 78 class robotic ships, which act as launch, recovery and support platforms for smaller robotic systems including remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and towed survey equipment capable of operating to roughly 6,000 meters depth. By eliminating large crewed host vessels, the autonomous Armada fleet is designed to cut CO2 emissions by up to around 90% versus conventional oceanographic survey methods. Ocean Infinity gained wide recognition for its searches for missing aircraft Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 and has supported energy, defense and scientific clients. Led by CEO Oliver Plunkett, the privately held company combines vessel autonomy, satellite remote operations, AUV/ROV payloads and data analytics to deliver robotics-as-a-service across marine survey, offshore energy and ocean-data markets.
