Skana Robotics has developed an AI-driven algorithm that allows fleets of underwater robots to communicate effectively over long distances. This innovation addresses the challenge of maintaining communication without surfacing, which exposes the vessels. The system, a part of Skana's SeaSphere fleet management software, enables the robots to share data and react autonomously to information received from other units, adapting their course or tasks while working towards a common goal.
This new capability uses older, mathematically driven AI algorithms to ensure predictability, which is crucial for coordinated operations. The technology supports various applications, including securing underwater infrastructure and supply chains. Skana's system facilitates the deployment of numerous unmanned vessels, allowing them to share data both on the surface and underwater, marking a significant advancement in maritime defence and security operations.
Skana Robotics' technology enhances maritime resilience through distributed, intelligent systems. Their open architecture combines autonomous surface, subsurface, and amphibious platforms into a unified environment, ready to deploy and adapt in real-time. This approach enables system evolution through software updates, reducing reliance on traditional manufacturing.
