Autonomous Ocean
Floor Mapping
At mOcean, we aim to accelerate ocean floor mapping and understanding using a self-sufficient, renewable energy powered unmanned platform that acts as a hub for charging a deep-sea exploration device, enhancing scientific knowledge of the seabed.

Current Challenges
Current methods used by maritime researchers performing deep ocean floor mapping are slow and highly energy inefficient, constrained by a constant need for human presence. The costs for scanning makes seafloor mapping impractical.
Our Solution
mOcean strives to innovate the way ocean floor mapping is conducted. The goal is to integrate an autonomous support buoy that can continuously supply energy, generated by solar power, to an underwater scanning system using a marine-grade cable.
The Prototype
An interactive look at our current assembly. Drag to orbit, scroll or pinch to zoom, and right-click to pan. Use the controls to explode the assembly and reveal its internal structure, or expand the viewer to fullscreen.
