On this week’s Ocean Tech Talk, Sebastian Deggan will be sharing how the DataXplorer uses advanced sonar like the Ping DSP to improve navigation safety, guide offshore construction, and map the seabed with real-time, high-resolution data.

Collecting real time ocean data with our solar powered autonomous boats, transforming how we understand our oceans.
About us
Solar powered autonomous boats providing real time information to understand and protect our oceans. Our oceans are full of information. Information that can protect at-risk whale species, allow ships to voyage more fuel-efficient routes, crack down on illegal fishing, and enable us to better understand the impacts of climate change. Our boats are equipped with sensors, cameras and communication devices so that we can capture information from anywhere on the ocean and have instant access to it. Harvesting energy from the sun and the wind, our boats travel nonstop for months, without producing any greenhouse gas emissions, noise pollution or risk of oil spills. They are an essential component to creating a digital ocean, an Internet of Things for the sea, where we finally begin to understand some of the most mysterious regions of our planet.

Have you seen our DataXplorer in action? You've probably seen plenty of photos, but have you taken a close look at the new Gen2 base model sensors? In the images below, you'll notice the difference between our modular Gen1 and Gen2 roll bar designs, as well as our new mounting box. The removable rollbar and improved modular design makes shipping more efficient, allowing you to send back individual components rather than the entire USV when modifications or adjustments are needed. This minimizes downtime, reduces shipping costs, and ensures your system stays mission-ready. Innovation that keeps you on the water, not in the workshop. #DataXplorer #USV #MaritimeTech #Innovation

Thank you Pacific Economic Development Canada | Développement économique Canada pour le Pacifique for the great feature! We're excited to keep pushing boundaries in ocean technology and sustainability.
💭 “Whether it’s surviving a hurricane in a rowboat or breaking into new markets, success relies on staying focused on the goal, fostering collaboration, and continually innovating to overcome challenges.” Julie Angus, Co-Founder & CEO of Open Ocean Robotics, proves that “a smooth sea never made a skilled sailor.” As the first woman to row across the Atlantic from mainland to mainland, Julie knows what it takes to navigate both the ocean and business. Learn more about Julie’s insights and how Open Ocean Robotics is protecting marine ecosystems, one aquatic mile at a time. ⬇️️ - - - « Qu’il s’agisse de survivre à un ouragan dans une chaloupe ou de percer de nouveaux marchés, le succès repose sur le maintien de l’objectif, la promotion de la collaboration et l’innovation continue pour surmonter les défis. » Julie Angus, cofondatrice et cheffe de la direction d’Open Ocean Robotics, prouve qu’« une mer plate n’a jamais créé un marin qualifié ». En tant que première femme à traverser l’Atlantique à la rame d’un continent à un autre, Julie sait ce qui est nécessaire pour naviguer à la fois sur l’océan et dans les affaires. Apprenez-en plus sur les idées de Julie et sur la façon dont Open Ocean Robotics protège les écosystèmes marins, un kilomètre aquatique à la fois. ⬇️️

Our DataXplorer USV proudly flew The Explorers Club flag on behalf of the remarkable Dr. Ellen Pikitch, who was recently honoured with the prestigious 2024 Lowell Thomas Award. This flag symbolizes commitment to pioneering exploration, and Ellen’s work has truly advanced marine conservation and science on a global scale. Her dedication to sustainable fisheries, marine protected areas, and ecosystem management continues to inspire our mission at Open Ocean Robotics! Photo credit: https://lnkd.in/gXetDDnb

A truly inspiring moment for our team! Our Marine Operations Lead Madeleine B. presented our USV DataXplorer's role in eDNA sampling at a media event held at the Stony Brook Southampton Marine Station. In 2022, Shinnecock Bay, located on the eastern end of Long Island, New York, was designated a Mission Blue Hope Spot. DataXplorer was deployed as part of the Shinnecock Bay Restoration Program, whose restoration efforts drastically improved the environment within the bay and helped secure the bay as a Hope Spot. Sharing the stage with people like Dr. Ellen Pikitch, Dr. Kelsey Leonard, and world renowned explorer and advocate Dr. Sylvia Earle, was an unforgettable highlight as we work together toward marine conservation.

We are proud to announce that the first ever integration of a RoCSI environmental DNA (eDNA) sampler with an all-electric, solar-powered Uncrewed Surface Vehicle (USV) is with our DataXplorer. Conducted in Shinnecock Bay for Stony Brook University and in collaborations with, School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, Institute for Ocean Conservation Science, and Shinnecock Bay Restoration Program this project marked the most environmentally responsible approach to ocean biodiversity assessment to date. The DataXplorer collected over 100 viable eDNA samples during its mission. Its autonomous capabilities allow for extended operations, enabling continuous sampling far beyond the limits of traditional crewed vessels. This project not only increased sampling reach, even in shallow waters, but also demonstrated our commitment to zero-emission, minimally invasive data collection.
