Nautica Technologies builds a swarm of autonomous underwater robots that continuously clean, inspect, and maintain vessel hulls to prevent marine growth before it degrades efficiency. The company positions itself at the intersection of robotics, climate technology, and maritime infrastructure and was founded by robotics experts from ETH Zurich and EPFL. Nautica aims to transform hull maintenance from a reactive, costly process to an automated, always-on system that enhances vessel performance and reduces environmental impact. The startup says its solution can deliver significant fuel savings, cut GHG emissions, and help vessels meet regulatory requirements by reducing the spread of invasive species. Nautica plans to commercialize its technology and support first commercial deployments across customer fleets following its recent financing. The company is led by CEO and co-founder Cédric Portmann.
