Led by CEO and founder Michael Autery, Gander Robotics develops autonomous rescue systems for maritime operations. Its flagship product, the Autonomous Rescue Swimmer (ARS), uses AI-powered sonar and precision navigation to locate and rescue personnel in man-overboard emergencies. The company reports active engagements across defense, government and commercial maritime sectors, including work with cruise line operators. Gander Robotics plans to use its newly raised Pre-Seed capital to accelerate prototype development and testing. Financially, the company recently closed a $1.1M Pre-Seed round led by Impellent Ventures and Underscore VC. No revenue, user or other operating metrics were disclosed in the announcement.
