Congratulations to Robotics Factory company OctaPulse and co-founder Paul L. Grech!

Underwater environments are some of the toughest places to operate. Visibility drops to almost nothing, pressure can crush equipment, and there’s no GPS to rely on. Aquatonomy is taking on that challenge with new approaches to autonomous underwater navigation and inspection, backed by more than fifteen years of research. Through the Robotics Factory Accelerate Program, they were able to move from research into real commercial development. Our team supported their early product build, customer discovery, and the industry connections needed to validate their market and gain early traction. Their story is featured in our newest case study and video, now live here: https://hubs.ly/Q03V6Xqf0 Proud to support this kind of progress through Innovation Works and the Robotics Factory program. #RoboticsInnovation #RoboticsFactory #RoboticsPGH
