Ulysses builds low-cost autonomous underwater vehicles that operate across surface and subsea domains. The company started in ocean restoration—their robots restore seagrass 100x faster than manual planting at a fraction of the cost—and has since expanded into defense applications that leverage the same core autonomy platform.
The company has completed US Navy trials and attracted interest from US Customs and Border Protection. The founding team previously built championship Formula 1 cars, satellites, drones, and self-driving cars.
