# Bedrock AUV

Manufacturer: [Bedrock Ocean](/companies/bedrock-ocean)  
Category: maritime

## Summary

Bedrock's AUV is the commercial-subsea-survey entry of the maritime cohort: an autonomous electric undersea vehicle for seabed mapping and offshore survey (wind farms, cables), paired with the Mosaic cloud-native data platform. It operates independently underwater on inertial navigation with onboard edge compute, neither towed nor tele-piloted while submerged. Bedrock is a US Public Benefit Corporation, and its pitch is unit economics: each AUV costs under $1 million, and the company frames two AUVs as covering the same ground as one mapping ship. It is sold to offshore-survey operators, not consumers; there is no consumer price, and the sub-$1M figure is a B2B unit cost, not a consumer price.

## Top line

> Bedrock AUV is internal use only (not for retail), no capability claims are on file, the model has no verified field deployments in the registry, and no incidents are on record.

## Specs

- **notes**: [{"label":"Verified","value":"Bedrock Ocean (US PBC) designs + builds its own electric AUVs paired with a cloud data platform - a pure-commercial subsea-survey entity (offshore wind / oil & gas / environmental), the commercial-subsea-startup cell of the maritime matrix. $25.5M Series A (mid-2025, Northzone + Primary; ~$40M+ total).
