Description
Nauticus Robotics (Webster, Texas; NASDAQ: KITT) manufactures the Aquanaut Mark 2, a fully electric untethered autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) for offshore inspection, maintenance, and repair, operated via acoustic communication and the proprietary ToolKITT autonomy software. The Aquanaut Mark 2 completed qualification testing to a verified depth of 2,300 meters in 2025, covering approximately 90% of worldwide offshore oil and gas fields, and is designed for a 3,000-meter operational depth. An Olympic Arm manipulator attachment enabling autonomous intervention tasks was in late-2025 deployment preparation.
