OceanScale
The ocean simulator for underwater robotics
A controllable, reproducible virtual ocean that accelerates development, testing, validation, and deployment iteration for underwater robots.
Challenge
The ocean is nota training ground
Every real-ocean validation run is gated by weather, vessels, crew, currents, deployment gear, and hardware risk. The iteration cycle for underwater robots is locked to the pace of the ocean.
Solution
Virtual Ocean
OceanScale brings hydrodynamics, ocean environments, sensors, robot interfaces, and training/evaluation pipelines into one GPU-native runtime for large-scale training, testing, failure replay, and real-ocean validation.
Inputs
Outputs
Validation
From one missionto thousands of experiments
The same robot model, ocean conditions, and task goals can be run, compared, and replayed repeatedly in the virtual ocean. Validation is no longer limited to a few expensive field opportunities.
Applications
Mission Domains
Focused on the expensive, hard-to-reproduce conditions that slow underwater robotics development.
Autonomous Docking
Validate docking strategies under current, low visibility, and localization error.
Station Keeping
Validate position, attitude, and operational stability in disturbed ocean conditions.
Inspection & Survey
Validate navigation and data collection along pipelines, seabed structures, and complex terrain.
Close-Range Work
Validate approach, obstacle avoidance, pose holding, and manipulator actions near equipment.
Target Search
Validate search and return policies under occlusion, turbidity, and partial observation.
Deployment Replay
Bring failure conditions from real missions back into the virtual ocean for the next iteration.
