At Rumblefish Robotics, we’re pushing the boundaries of marine drone technology, with a long-term vision for autonomous swarms. Our primary research platform, the 5-foot “Black tip” robotic shark, is central to this mission.
Inspired by nature, the “Black tip” features a 1:1 scale hull modeled directly from a black-tipped reef shark. This bio-inspired design allows us to explore biomimicry as a powerful tool for solving complex underwater hydrodynamic and control challenges in autonomous craft. The hull itself represents a breakthrough in construction: we’ve pioneered techniques combining 3D printing and polymer casting to create custom, low-cost, high-pressure hulls, accelerating development in underwater robotics.
