Nauticus Robotics: A New Era in Subsea Robotics

On November 3, 2025, Nauticus Robotics, Inc. (NASDAQ: KITT) made waves in the world of underwater technology by certifying its Nauticus ToolKITT™ autonomy software for use on light work-class remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). This accomplishment comes on the heels of Nauticus' acquisition of SeaTrepid International earlier in 2025, which expanded its capabilities in the subsea domain.

Pioneering Autonomy in ROVs

The Nauticus ToolKITT™ software represents a significant advancement in the field of autonomous subsea robotics. Following thorough pool and open-water tests, the software was successfully integrated into existing ROV platforms, marking a transformative moment for Nauticus. This achievement not only showcases the flexibility of the ToolKITT™ system but also expands its application beyond proprietary systems, allowing for retrofitting of legacy ROVs.

Nauticus has implemented ToolKITT™ in operations aboard its flagship Aquanaut® robot, but the recent project is particularly noteworthy as it signifies the first commercial application on third-party ROV platforms. Nauticus ToolKITT™ boasts advanced autonomous station-keeping and navigation functions that alleviate manual burdens on operators, enhance consistency in mission execution, and improve overall operational safety.

A Major Milestone for Nauticus

John Gibson, President and CEO of Nauticus Robotics, highlighted the transformative impact of this project. He noted that it is
