What We Do

Jaia Robotics is a multi-use aquatic drone and data solutions company that is aiming to disrupt the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) market by providing very low-cost, ultra-portable, high-speed aquatic drones that can be deployed in multi vehicle pods. The JaiaBot aquatic drones can be used for point or wide area data collection and payload delivery. Their ultraportable design allows them to be launched from virtually anywhere, including surf zones, riverbanks, docks, or watercraft. The JaiaBot System is modular, enabling rapid integration of different sensors and payloads, making it highly adaptable for various applications such as Environmental Monitoring, Research, Offshore Renewables, Aquaculture, Defense, and Academia. The system offers significant cost savings and is scalable due to its low acquisition cost and minimal maintenance requirements.
