Discover zero-emission, safe and affordable ocean monitoring with DataXplorer™
WE OFFER BETTER WAYS OF SEEING OUR OCEANS
Open Ocean Robotics offers safer, more affordable, and sustainable ways to collect and manage oceanographic and maritime data. Our autonomous robotic data collection platform and cloud-based software system provide real-time data acquisition with AI driven analytics.
DataXplorer™ is our solar-powered uncrewed surface vehicle (USV) with innovative patented technologies, offering persistent emission-free ocean data acquisition in extreme sea states. Paired with XplorerView™, our cloud-based data management and USV control system,
we offer a whole new way to understand and protect our oceans.
UNCREWED
SURFACE
VEHICLES
DataXplorer™ is a solar powered ocean drone, also called an uncrewed surface vehicle (USV). Powered by the sun, it can stay on the ocean for extended time periods, collecting ocean and environmental data using its suite of sensors. Capable of travelling in both coastal and open-ocean waters, and with a customizable platform for multiple sensor integration, it offers the ability to understand our oceans in a whole new way.
XplorerView™ is our secure cloud-based portal for realtime data viewing, actionable insights, and USV operations. Its easy-to-use interface enables stakeholders to access USV collected data instantly and analyze it with supplemental data feeds to maximize the value to you.
For USV buyers, we offer access to XplorerView™ MissionControl, our proprietary command and control system to optimize USV operations. With real-time wind, current, and traffic data, and tools to optimize vessel performance, we offer USV operators an easy to use command and control system.
XplorerView™ also supports secure data sharing, providing USV collected data and analytics direct to your operating system.

-
carbon credit Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV)
-
eDNA sampling
-
ocean current profiling
OFFSHORE ENERGY
Open Ocean Robotics offers sustainable and efficient lifecycle monitoring solutions tailored to the offshore energy sector. Our technology is designed to help the offshore wind industry achieve 5x growth by 2030 to produce 330 GW, enough to power all of Canada plus three of the top 10 producers of offshore wind energy (Netherlands, Denmark, and Belgium).
We help offshore energy with:
-
protected species observations
-
site assessments
-
environmental monitoring
-
asset security
-
weather and ocean current monitoring
-
benthic survey
MARITIME
DOMAIN AWARENESS
Open Ocean Robotics provides robust and reliable maritime domain awareness solutions to address the challenges faced in the vast maritime domain. DataXplorer™ offers real-time monitoring of maritime activities, enhancing situational awareness for security, safety, economic, and environmental purposes. By continuously collecting and transmitting data, the USV enables better decision-making processes, ensuring safer navigation and the sustainable use of waterways.
We help industry and government organizations with:
-
critical infrastructure protection
-
counter smuggling, trafficking, and transshipment
-
Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing enforcement
-
Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR)
CONFIGURE
YOUR DX FLEET
DataXplorer™ comes in a base configuration, as well as models for select markets.
Customers can further customize their USV with add-on sensors and specialized integrations.
DataXplorer™
DataXplorer™ measures weather conditions, ocean currents, water depth, and water temperature. It also scans the horizon with its 360-degree camera and AIS transponder.
DataXplorer Protect™
DataXplorer Protect™ adds additional sensors and features for maritime domain awareness, asset security, and illegal fishing enforcement. With multiple thermal cameras and covert colouring, it allows day and night time operations in sensitive areas.
DataXplorer Enviro™
DataXplorer Enviro™ has additional oceanographic and environmental sensors that can be customized for seafloor mapping, metocean data collection, and marine mammal monitoring. Customizable with a profiling winch, underwater cameras, or towed sensors, it addresses a range of environmental needs.
