Oshen, a Plymouth-based robotics company, raised €4.27 million to scale production of solar- and wind-powered autonomous robot swarms for persistent ocean monitoring, serving navies, weather agencies, and ocean scientists. Their C-Star robots offer low-cost, wide-area sensing for applications including hurricane tracking, security, subsea infrastructure protection, and climate early-warning systems.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Robotics, Drones & UAV.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You can now tap into mass-produced autonomous ocean robots to replace expensive naval sensing with scalable, deployable swarms that deliver persistent data. This opens new routes to serve security and climate customers who need continuous real-time ocean intelligence without the overhead of traditional platforms.
