Nauticus Robotics Software

Nauticus ToolKITT™

Vehicle-agnostic, modular autonomy software that adds pilot assistance and software-assisted control to existing ROV fleets, AUVs and surface vehicles.

Description

Nauticus ToolKITT™ is behavior-tree autonomy software developed over roughly a decade on Aquanaut® Mk2 and other Nauticus vehicle programs. It brings autonomy into ROV workflows, starting with pilot assistance, repeatable execution and software-assisted control, without replacing existing vehicles.

Key features

  • Vehicle agnostic and modular: integrates alongside existing control software where supported by vehicle APIs
  • Runs on work-class ROVs, observation ROVs, AUVs and surface vehicles; demonstrated on a VideoRay Defender Mk 1.0
  • Surface interface for planning, supervision and mission control, e.g. defining survey areas, parameters and waypoints
  • Obstacle avoidance and supervised autonomy in development
  • Licensed software product with topside integration; delivery planned for early 2027, with trial integrations available now

Applications

  • Pilot assistance during repetitive subsea tasks
  • Repeatable survey and inspection workflows across crews and vehicles
