Skana Robotics Helps Fleets Of Underwater Robots Communicate With Each Other

Skana Robotics Breaks Underwater Communication Barriers How do underwater robots communicate without surfacing, risking exposure or failure? That question has long challenged naval forces, researchers, and energy companies. Skana Robotics now claims it has an answer. The Tel Aviv–based startup has developed a new AI-powered system that allows fleets of autonomous underwater vehicles to communicate across long distances while staying submerged. If proven at scale, the technology could reshape underwater defense, infrastructure security, and maritime operations worldwide. Credit: Skana Robotics Why Underwater Communication Has Always Been So Hard Underwater communication remains one of the most difficult problems in maritime robotics. Radio signals degrade quickly underwater, forcing most autonomous vessels to surface periodically to transmit data. That workaround creates security risks, especially in defense or sensitive infrastructure monitoring missions. It also breaks mission continuity…
