Building the future of autonomous hull maintenance

Basilisk Robotics is developing intelligent, autonomous robots to clean and inspect ship hulls, ensuring efficiency and sustainability in the maritime industry.

Maximize Performance With Intelligent Hull Cleaning

With advanced machine learning and mechanical technologies, our robot can clean and inspect a wide range of metal and fiberglass hulls, both large and small.

Intelligent Debris Detection

Our robot uses advanced machine learning and high-resolution cameras to detect and classify different types of biofouling and debris, ensuring a thorough cleaning process.

Gentle Yet Effective Cleaning

Designed to preserve hull integrity, our system carefully removes biofouling without damaging protective coatings, extending the lifespan of your vessel’s hull.

Optimized Cleaning Efficiency

Our data-centered approach adapts cleaning intensity based on hull condition and usage, optimizing energy efficiency while maintaining peak vessel performance.

Fully Autonomous Operation

Set a schedule and let our robot handle the rest. No need for divers or manual intervention—our system operates autonomously to keep your hull clean year-round.

Supercharge Maintenance With Proactive Inspections

Our advanced inspection and analytics platform enables you to find hull integrity problems before they find you.

Data-Driven Insights

Our system collects hull condition data including structural damage and corrosion levels, offering predictive insights to help vessel owners make informed decisions.

Real-Time Inspections

Equipped with high-resolution cameras, our system provides real-time hull inspections, detecting structural damage and corrosion.
