Ocean Robotics: Meet Greensea IQ
It was announced today that Greensea, Armach Robotics and Bayonet Ocean Vehicles have been consolidated into a single company: Greensea IQ.Ben Kinnaman founded Greensea Systems in 2006 to “develop an open architecture software environment that would help propel the industry into the coming era of autonomy and perception,” as well as intelligence data mining from the ocean using robotics, which is Greensea ubiquitous OpenSea platform: an open architecture software platform with a modular framework that is designed to enable quick and easy integration of robotic systems, delivering precision
Bayonet Kicks off Ocean Business with ‘Truck of the Sea’ Demo
Bayonet Ocean Vehicles and Greensea Systems hosted a live demonstration of their Bayonet 250 autonomous underwater ground vehicle today ahead of Ocean Business. The first-ever UK demonstration took place along the River Itchen, Southampton.The Bayonet Vehicle is a powerful tool designed to operate in high surf zones where other underwater platforms cannot easily operate. The vehicles are available in three sizes, the Bayonet 150, 250 and 350, and the modular set-up offers users an easy configuration with a wide range of sensor payloads.The vehicle, described by Bayonet as ‘the truck of the
Greensea Demonstrates Untethered ROV Operation at Sea
Greensea Systems, a marine robotic software solutions provider, recently demonstrated untethered autonomy for ROVs.Using a commercially available Defender ROV from VideoRay, outfitted with batteries, an acoustic modem, and the new OPENSEA Edge system, Greensea says it has successfully proven the untethered operation of an ROV at sea."OPENSEA Edge puts a tremendous amount of processing power at the edge, right on the robot, where it can work directly with sensors to process that data onboard, eliminating the need for a topside computer via the tether. This dual, parallel NVIDIA edge platform runs
Greensea Snags Award at Blue Innovation Symposium
Greensea Systems, Inc. won the Rising Tide Award as the ‘Industry Awardee’ during the Blue Innovation Symposium (BIS) held in Rhode Island this week. The award was presented to Greensea’s CEO Ben Kinnaman in acknowledgement of Greensea’s significant contributions to the blue economy through technology innovation, collaboration and leadership.Ben Kinnaman attended BIS to participate as a panelist during the discussion, Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), Commercializing Technologies. Greensea, under Kinnaman’s guidance, has been successful turning technology developed
Armach Robotics Promotes John Dunn to COO
its operations VP John Dunn to chief operating officer.Armach, which uses small autonomous robots to keep ships clean and collect hull data that can inform future maintenance and operations, hired Dunn when the company was launched in late 2021, as a spin-off company by marine software company Greensea Systems.In his new role, Dunn continues to play a central role in further developing and overseeing Armach’s ongoing business operations. He will focus on strategic planning for the business and, together with the leadership team, will ensure the operational infrastructure of systems, processes
Greensea, SeeByte Collaboration Fosters Ocean Robotics Innovation
Greensea Systems, creator of the open architecture platform OPENSEA, and SeeByte, with their mission-level autonomy system Neptune and embedded Automatic Target Recognition (ATR), have continued their collaboration to provide a comprehensive solution for ocean robotics operators, from vehicle platform to operation center.The two companies are working together to provide advanced autonomy and sensor processing solutions that complement each other and push the cutting-edge of underwater robotics.“I have had a long history with Greensea Systems. First, I was a customer of theirs at SeaBotix. Then I

was able to fly the robot from its launch point at the pier, and make a controlled approach to the side of the ship. Once successfully established on the ship’s hull, a short test cleaning protocol was commenced. Utilizing Safe C2, a distance operation solution by marine robotics specialist Greensea Systems, Inc., the trial demonstrated a unique advanced intervention task with an ROV, different from more traditional ROVs, representing another important milestone for Armach and its implication for industry use.During the trial, the HSR further demonstrated its obstacle detection and avoidance feature
Marine Robotics Tech Firm GreenSea Systems Starts Off 2023 with Key New Hires
Marine robotics technology company Greensea Systems on Thursday shared its latest additions to the team, and its implementation of a more agile delivery methodology for its Program Management (PM) team, led by Laura Krahn.Krahn joined Greensea in 2022 with her experience of building an agile team to lead the software development life cycle and advance technology development."My vision is that Greensea’s PM team must function as a team. Everyone comes with his/her own set of skills, and we need to work together to bridge gaps and provide support to each other across all of our various
MTR100 Spotlight: Armach Robotics
The MTR100 is a look at the 100 leading companies, technologies and people in the global subsea sector. In the September/October edition, Marine Technology Reporter published the 17th Annual MTR100. Today's spotlight is on Armach Robotics, launched by Greensea Systems Inc.Armach Robotics (Armach) is setting out to revolutionize proactive in-water cleaning of ship hulls by using of small, autonomous robots. Proactive in-water cleaning is the frequent removal of early stage biofouling through gentle means, reducing the problem at its earliest stages. Management and control of microfouling pays
