Kraken Robotics :: Advanced Subsea Sensors, Robotic Systems & Power Solutions

Kraken Robotics is a leading marine technology company specializing in advanced subsea sensors, robotic systems, and power solutions. Headquartered in Canada, the company designs and manufactures high-performance technologies that enhance underwater intelligence for defense, offshore energy, marine research, and commercial survey applications. Kraken focuses on transforming subsea data collection through high-resolution imaging, synthetic aperture sonar (SAS), sub-bottom profiling, LiDAR, and advanced battery systems for unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) and other subsea platforms. The company operates globally with offices across North America and Europe.

Kraken’s robotics-related offerings center on towed and autonomous underwater systems that deliver superior data quality and operational efficiency.

Key Robot-Based and Marine Robotic Products:

• KATFISH: A high-speed, actively stabilized Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) towfish. It operates at speeds up to 10 knots, providing exceptional resolution imaging and bathymetry over wide swaths. It is one of the most advanced towed SAS systems available.
• Kraken SAS: Advanced synthetic aperture sonar technology for simultaneous high-resolution imaging and mapping, used on various towed and autonomous platforms.
• SeaPower Batteries: High-energy-density, pressure-tolerant batteries designed specifically for UUVs and subsea robotics. They offer superior endurance and reliability compared to traditional batteries.
• LiDAR Solutions: Underwater LiDAR systems delivering millimeter-level resolution for detailed 3D metrology of subsea assets and infrastructure.
• Sub-Bottom Imager and Acoustic Corer: Systems that provide 3D subsurface imaging and acoustic coring for geological analysis and hazard detection.

Kraken’s technologies are used on autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), and towed systems. The company also offers survey services and data processing. Its solutions are trusted by defense organizations, energy companies, and research institutions for mine countermeasures, pipeline inspection, seabed mapping, and infrastructure monitoring. Kraken continues to innovate in subsea robotics, power systems, and AI-enhanced data processing.
