About Our Project


The BlueBOT Project is an ocean intelligence service.


The BlueBOT Project leverages underwater robotic technology to help those who cannot swim, are physically disabled or are afraid of the water to have engaging and immersive reef experiences.


You can explore selected reef locations via the robotic avatar in the water through which you experience life on the reef.


We also offer ROV services for benthic surveys by engineering firms, underwater content creation and reef surveys for environmental agencies.


Based in Barbados, The BlueBOT Project was a winning proposal in the UNDP Accelerator Labs for Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean’s Blue Tank competition 2020 and is an awardee in both Compete Caribbean and the Ocean Innovations Challenge.


The Intended Impact


CORAL REEF RESILIENCE

Coral bleaching events and algal overgrowth threaten the reef ecosystem. Climate change, overfishing,  ocean acidification and eutrophication are the major culprits.

DATA

There are gaps in the data available on Caribbean coral reefs. These data gaps are due to challenges in data collection and data sharing . Timely and consistent data collection drive more sustainable policies.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Advances in computing power and machine learning algorithms process data faster for a deeper insight.

EFFICIENCY IN MONITORING

We can reduce the cost, time and risk to human life  incurred  monitoring coral reefs by integrating artificial intelligence.

REMOTE SURVEYING

Our robots can remotely survey and monitor coral reef ecosystems down to 200ft.

EARLY WARNING

Constant surveillance lead to  more effective and cheaper mitigation

“Caribbean economies are poised to

sustain approximately 4 billion USD

in economic losses if coral reef

degradation continues.”
