HonuWorx

2020-3 - Present · 6 yrs 7 mos

Aberdeen

Co-founded HonuWorx in 2020 to develop a fundamentally different operating model for subsea work. HonuWorx develops persistent autonomous subsea systems for defence, critical infrastructure and energy. By reducing dependence on conventional support vessels and offshore personnel, our technologies enable surveillance, inspection and intervention through a fundamentally different operating model. Current focus includes: * Persistent autonomous subsea systems * Defence and dual-use technology * Cloud-to-edge robotics and remote operations * Autonomous underwater systems Recent milestones include world-first demonstrations of autonomous subsea operations, participation in NATO DIANA and delivery of R&D programmes with Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC).
