The idea was simple: Anything that can be automated should be automated. Everything that occurs underwater should be done with self-propelled and autonomous equipment. Repetitive tasks and routines should be simplified and automated. In other words: Less manual work to create an optimal environment is less stressful to both fish and farmers.
With that in mind, Remora Robotics was founded in 2016 – with a clear mission: revolutionise the cleaning of pens in fish farms to achieve optimum farming conditions.
The result? A patented autonomous submarine robot that cleans and inspects fish farming cages while collecting data regarding the pen’s aquatic environment.
How we did it
Since its inception, Remora Robotics has perfected its robotic technologies’ design, technology, characteristics, performance, and functionality.
Headquartered in Stavanger, with an operations centre and large-scale production facilities, Remora Robotics works directly with farmers to design and develop the optimal tool for cleaning fish farming cages.
Remora have close and fruitful collaboration with leading research groups in Norway: SINTEF, the Norwegian Research Council, NTNU and Innovation Norway. The technology has been tested and approved by the research institute NORCE, while the certification company Aquastructure quality assured the technology in 2021.
The next step
Remora Robotics renews and improves the aquaculture industry in a future-oriented, environmentally friendly and sustainable way. With a strong foothold established in our home market, we are ready to take our technology to the next level and develop international markets.
