Bubble Robotics

Bubble Robotics designs and operates fleets of integrated autonomous surface–subsea robotic systems that remain at sea for up to six months, delivering continuous inspection, survey, and underwater monitoring without ever sending vessels or crews offshore. The company's flagship platform, BubbleDock, launches directly from shore or from manned vessels and deploys BubbleBots—modular autonomous underwater vehicles—to inspect, maintain, and monitor offshore infrastructure including wind farms, ports, and subsea cable routes. The system generates millimeter-resolution multimodal data (cameras, sonar, MBES, SSS, hydrophones, environmental sensors), which is processed by Bubble OS using AI and machine learning to transform raw observations into actionable intelligence for infrastructure owners, operators, regulators, and insurers. Compared to traditional vessel-based offshore methods, Bubble delivers up to 70% cost reduction with zero capex and no humans offshore. The company was founded in 2025 by CEO Jean Crosetti and CTO Patricia Apostol (formerly of NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and ETH Zürich) through Entrepreneurs First, and raised a $5M pre-seed round co-led by Episode 1 Ventures and Asterion Ventures. It is headquartered in Zürich with a presence in Paris.
