OceanOne acts as your personal avatar under the sea, allowing you to explore dangerous depths while staying safely on the surface.
Its human-like hands are gentle enough to recover fragile 17th-century vases from shipwrecks without leaving a single scratch.


Thanks to advanced haptic feedback, you can actually feel the resistance and texture of artifacts as if you were touching them yourself.
Even in shifting underwater currents, the robot’s thrusters and sensors keep its hands perfectly steady so you can focus on the task.
A "humanoid diver" robot designed for underwater exploration and teleoperated manipulation in deep-sea environments.
OceanOne is a unique underwater humanoid designed for "haptic telepresence" in environments unreachable by divers. With its 7-DOF compliant arms and force-feedback sensors, a human pilot can "feel" the weight and texture of artifacts from a safe distance. Its neutrally buoyant body and eight-thruster propulsion system allow it to hover with incredible stability, bridging the gap between a remotely operated vehicle and a skilled human archaeologist.

Features a proprietary haptic feedback system that allows pilots to "feel" underwater objects as if they were touching them directly, even at depths of 1,000 meters.
Utilizes an eight-thruster propulsion system and neutrally buoyant limbs, allowing for stable, "hover-and-grip" operations in delicate archaeological or oil-rig sites.

Deep-sea exploration, underwater archaeology, and offshore oil/gas infrastructure maintenance.
Mimics a diver's torso and arms for natural telepresence.
Capable of precise manipulation resembling a human diver.
Allows operators to feel underwater forces as if using their own hands.
