FOR DIFFICULT
ENVIRONMENTS.
Oceanova develops integrated robotic, mechatronic and sensing systems from early concept through prototype, integration, testing and field deployment.
FROM CONCEPT TO DEPLOYMENT
Design it.
Design it.
Build it.
Test it.
Oceanova brings mechanical design, electronics, autonomy, sensing and software together into complete engineered systems.
We specialise in projects where several disciplines need to work together reliably outside the laboratory.

ENGINEERING WE USE OURSELVES
We build our
We build our
own platforms.
The same engineering capability we provide to clients is used internally to develop Oceanova autonomous systems.
FIELD VALIDATION
Engineering doesn't
Engineering doesn't
stop at the workshop.
Real systems need to operate around water, weather, communications constraints, vibration, changing payloads and imperfect field conditions.
We test where the system is expected to work.
