Mapping the Depths: Lobster Robotics Secures $300,000 Investment to Revolutionize Underwater Exploration

Lobster Robotics, an innovative Dutch deep-tech startup, is thrilled to announce a successful funding round of €300,000, which will catalyze our mission to revolutionize underwater exploration and monitoring. Our cutting-edge autonomous underwater robots leverage state-of-the-art optical sensing and photogrammetry techniques to produce impeccably detailed maps of the seafloor as if the water has been entirely removed. This groundbreaking technology allows end-users—ranging from environmental protection agencies to renewable energy constructors—to gain unprecedented clarity in a realm that has been historically shrouded in mystery. Our crisp, comprehensive visualizations unveil critical insights into marine habitats, assist in monitoring the structural integrity of assets, and even aid in the historical discovery of sunken treasures and lost ammunition from the World War II era. The funding will primarily be allocated to enhance our robotic development capabilities and expand our operational reach, enabling us to tailor our solutions to meet the diverse needs of our clients. As the world grapples with environmental challenges and seeking sustainable solutions, Lobster Robotics is at the forefront, equipping organizations with accurate tools to protect and manage marine environments effectively. We envision a future where our maps not only serve the practical interests of our users but also contribute to fostering a deeper understanding of the oceanic ecosystem. As we embark on this exciting journey with our newfound capital, we invite you to join us in making the hidden depths of our seas visible for all.
