Find the way.
We research new approaches to underwater localization and navigation — so robots can better understand their surroundings and their position within them.
LOCALIZATION & NAVIGATIONOUR DEEP SHOT FOR ROBOTICS
We research and develop the software that helps underwater robots find their way — and work with greater autonomy.

01 / OUR APPROACH
Our focus is the intelligence on board. We are developing a software layer designed to bring new autonomy capabilities to existing underwater robots.
We research new approaches to underwater localization and navigation — so robots can better understand their surroundings and their position within them.
LOCALIZATION & NAVIGATIONOur retrofit approach builds on existing robotic platforms. The goal: software that integrates through suitable interfaces and makes use of the available sensors.
SOFTWARE LAYER & RETROFITStep by step, we aim to enable more autonomous missions. Repeatable routes and comparable observations are intended to make underwater inspections easier to plan.
AUTONOMY & INSPECTIONIn development. We are currently exploring applications and opportunities for joint pilot projects.
02 / POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
Inspection is a first field of application: wherever underwater infrastructure needs to be understood, documented and revisited.
01 — OFFSHOREInspecting foundations and underwater structures. Documenting their condition and making changes visible across repeated visits.
02 — PORT INFRASTRUCTURESurveying quay walls, bridge piers and other submerged structures. Exploring initial applications with local operators.
Revisiting cable routes and defined areas. Creating comparable observations to identify changes over time.

03 / OUR DEEP SHOT
Our Deep Shot is a long-term ambition: turn advances in underwater orientation into reliable autonomy for real-world robotic missions.
VENTRIC is an emerging venture from the HAW Hamburg ecosystem. We bring a background in machine learning together with the ambition to advance underwater robotics.
We are building the technology and the team — and looking to connect with people who want to take this journey with us: in research, robotics and maritime operations.
