BLUE TECH FOR A BLUE PLANET
Observe.
Assess.
Respond.
Every water space presents different challenges.
We build low cost, modular automated robots that gather data, help you understand what’s happening and take action to solve problems and create value in marine and freshwater environments.
Different challenges.
Practical solutions.
01 / OBSERVE
Every water space
has a story.
Capture it with cameras and environmental sensors, configured around your project. From a fixed point to a wider survey, SeaGen brings you closer to what’s happening.
THE BASELINE BUOY
Your water.
Your questions.
Your buoy.
A solar-powered platform with up to four interchangeable monitoring modules. Start with what you need to know. Build from there.

BOATY IN MOTION / FIELD TRIAL · JUNE 2026
MEET BOATY
A wider view.
Data across a larger area.
You need to move to answer some questions. Boaty is our compact robotic surface platform for gathering camera footage and sensor readings across your survey area.
Use mobile monitoring to explore beyond a fixed observation point and compare conditions across different locations.
02 / ASSESS
From what you see
to what you know.
Give your measurements context with camera footage. Analysis helps reveal patterns. Together, they build a richer picture of your water space.
MAKING OBSERVATIONS USEFUL
Less footage to search.
More to learn from it.
At the National Marine Aquarium, HUB Ocean has been using AI tools to identify marine life in our footage. At Brixham, we’ve been validating models to detect, count and track seals.
These collaborations are developing ways to turn camera observations into useful biodiversity data.

Understanding
is the beginning.
We build technology to help people act on what they learn. That means supporting work on the water and developing new approaches to the challenges our waters face.
Support practical work
Boaty assists with equipment deployment, inspection trials and seaweed harvesting trips.
Meet AlgaRay
AlgaRay gathers floating sargassum and takes it below the surface. Our pilot work explores a robotic approach to managing sargassum offshore.
TMI / THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE PLATFORMS
Creative solutions.
Practical engineering.
We’re a team of engineers, scientists and people who care about the water. We build, deploy and learn, bringing those lessons back to the next version.
Meet SeaGenCan I configure a buoy for my research?
Yes. Baseline Buoy supports up to four monitoring modules. Tell us about your research question, site and sampling needs so we can discuss a suitable configuration or specialist integration.
Can a deployment change over time?
The modular platform is designed to adapt. Our team has added wave sensors and hydrophones to existing deployments as monitoring needs evolved.
Do you work with research collaborators?
We work with researchers on sensor integrations, monitoring and analysis. Bring us a question, a sensor or a potential deployment site, and we can explore it together.
Where should my project start?
Start with what you need to learn, where you want to monitor and how long for. Use the buoy builder to explore configurations, or get in touch to discuss the project.
