## Specs

- **notes:** [object Object],[object Object]
- **specs:** Bedrock AUV: autonomous electric AUV for seabed mapping / offshore survey (wind farms, cables), paired with the Mosaic cloud-native data platform. Operates independently underwater on inertial navigation with onboard edge compute (not towed, not tele-piloted while submerged). Each AUV costs under $1M; pitch is 'two AUVs cover the same ground as one mapping ship'. US Public Benefit Corp.
- **formFactor:** maritime (autonomous SUBSEA vehicle / electric AUV; commercial seabed mapping / offshore survey)

## Common questions

### What is Bedrock AUV?

Bedrock Ocean, a US public benefit corporation, designs and builds its own autonomous electric undersea vehicles paired with the Mosaic cloud-native data platform for seabed mapping and offshore survey of wind farms and cables, filling the pure-commercial subsea-survey cell of the maritime matrix. Its AUVs operate independently underwater on inertial navigation with onboard edge compute, neither towed nor tele-piloted while submerged, clearing the AI-as-primary bar, each costing under $1 million with a pitch that two AUVs cover the same ground as one mapping ship. The registry records it at early commercial maturity: it raised a $25.5 million Series A in mid-2025 co-led by Northzone and Primary, for roughly $40 million-plus in total, and did paid commercial survey work in offshore wind, oil and gas, and environmental assessment over two recent quarters. A scale cap-flag applies, since there is no verified fleet size, miles mapped, or named customers, only generic sector references, and US Navy interest is informal and demo-stage rather than a contract, while the founding year is not precisely pinned at around 2020 to 2021.

### Who makes Bedrock AUV?

Bedrock AUV is made by Bedrock Ocean, based in New York, USA, founded in 2020.

### Where is Bedrock AUV deployed?

No verified deployments of Bedrock AUV are currently on the DEPLOY registry. DEPLOY records deployments only when verified at a named site with a primary source; absence may reflect pre-deployment, research, or manufacturer-internal use.

### What is Bedrock AUV's maturity stage?

Bedrock AUV is at the commercial stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Commercial stage means production-grade deployments are operating at named customer sites.
