About us

About Kraken Robotics

Driving Innovation Beneath the Surface

We are world-leading innovators of Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) – a revolutionary underwater imaging technology that dramatically improves seabed surveys.

We are pioneers in next-generation subsea battery technology—delivering high-density, pressure-tolerant energy systems that extend mission range, enhance platform autonomy, and power the future of underwater operations.

We are derisking offshore energy installations through high resolution subsea geophysical, sonar, and LiDAR surveys.

Mission and Vision

Our purpose and long-term aspirations.

At Kraken Robotics, our mission is to transform subsea intelligence, empowering our clients to overcome the ocean’s greatest challenges – safely, efficiently, and sustainably.

We develop world-class underwater sensing, power solutions, and robotic systems that enable safer, more efficient, and data-driven decision-making for industries operating in complex marine environments.

We enable our clients to explore, monitor, and protect the world’s oceans with unmatched clarity and efficiency.
