Autonomous Underwater Scanning Using Artificial Intelligence
UWAI Robotics builds autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) to support aquaculture, fisheries, and the wider blue economy.
Providing cost-effective insights for optimisation and sustainability. Enhancing the blue economy by increasing yields and de-risking assets while protecting the environment.
What We Offer- Smart Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
- Sample Collection
- Data Processing Services
- Advanced Software
- Team of Experts
- Economic Monitoring
High detail scanning, real time insights
As the AUV travels the crop or asset, onboard and cloud AI are distilling key metrics — turning a tedious manual process into a live, decision-ready feed of what's happening under water.

Autonomous underwater survey and inspection across aquaculture, benthic, infrastructure and reef environments.
Aquaculture Surveys
Autonomous monitoring for underwater farming. Measuring crop density, growth, and health. Operators get decision-ready data on yield and harvest timing without disturbing the crop.
View detailsBenthic Surveys — Scallops & Habitats
Non-destructive seabed surveys for stock assessments and benthic habitat monitoring. We survey scallop beds with high accuracy, supporting sustainable fisheries using dredge-free stock monitoring.
View detailsInfrastructure Surveys
Precise and repeatable inspection of marinas, wharves, pipes, cables, and other submerged infrastructure. We can provide cost-effective monitoring for underwater assets to inform installation, maintenance, and decommissioning.
Ship-Hull Inspections
In-water hull inspections detecting biofouling, corrosion and damage — reducing dry-docking and keeping vessels compliant and efficient.
Reef Inspections — Crayfish, Seaweed & Sea-Urchins
Survey and monitoring of reef ecosystems — including crayfish, seaweed and sea-urchin populations — to support research and sustainable management.
Biosecurity and Ecological Monitoring
On-going health checks for ecosystems that are at risk from human impacts, climate change, and invasive species. Our goal is to catch issues and track ecosystem changes accurately with frequent monitoring.
