Nauticus Robotics Certifies Autonomy Software for Light Work-Class ROVs
Nauticus Robotics has certified and deployed its Nauticus ToolKITT autonomy software on two light work-class remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) acquired through the company's 2025 acquisition of SeaTrepid International.
Following pool and open-water testing, Nauticus completed its first paid commercial subsea project utilizing Nauticus ToolKITT on a retrofitted ROV platform.
The achievement demonstrates that the modular autonomy solution is capable of upgrading existing offshore vehicles without major hardware or control system redesigns.
This project represents the first commercial application of the software on a third-party ROV platform, while Nauticus ToolKITT is successfully deployed in operations aboard the company's flagship Aquanaut robot.
