Mako, our underwater vehicle, is truly best in class for its form factor, the small to medium size.
So for them, they're interested in things like how can we find and remove mines?
How can we gather intelligence under waters?
And how can we do other relevant, important tasks like protecting ports, harbors, critical infrastructure, that sort of thing.
All done off the same core tech platform, but
it's pretty valuable and can be used across each.
One of the kind of similarities maybe to think about is people are building general purpose robotic form factors on land in the form of the humanoid.
You can't just take a humanoid robot and throw it into the ocean.
It just doesn't work that way.
You have to have something that maybe looks a bit more like a fish or a shark.
And that's the kind of platform that we're hoping to build for the ocean.
Cool.
Yeah, pretty much the average day in the life for a Ulysses forward deployed engineer.
Yeah, I think part of it is kind of a narrative.
There's like a different narrative for the ocean and it's not, you haven't got this kind of like, you know, inspirational framing of like the iconic images of like Apollo and SpaceX, you know, rockets launching again.
And you haven't had a company like doing the kind of SpaceX version of like, let's make this domain sexy again for the ocean.
But I think it's worth considering
going back and looking at history to understand that this is an anomaly, a historic anomaly that we haven't been as obsessed with exploring the oceans.
Since the dawn of time, mankind has dreamed of sea creatures, expeditions at sea.
Moana.
