Abyss Solutions are creating the intelligence inside the automation systems of the future. An award-winning company, the Abyss team’s expertise spans across marine robotics, computer vision, machine learning, sensor technology and civil engineering.

Abyss Solutions revolutionises the industry landscape of advanced robotics, intelligent computer algorithms and data analytics, and innovative machine-learning technology to improve the safety for critical infrastructure in offshore oil and gas, water, transport, maritime, and defence sectors.

From re-designing robots on-the-fly, to being picked up in helicopters and conducting work on offshore vessels and oil rigs, there’s a lot of room to grow and develop at Abyss.

Agerris began in April 2019 with one of Australia’s largest AgTech seed funds, aimed at commercialising the robotic and Al technologies developed by the same team from the Australian Centre for Field Robotics. Prior to this the team secured close to $30m in R&D, prototype and operational funding from horticulture, grazing livestock, grains and cotton RDCs, as well as environmental agencies. The internationally recognised team has demonstrated its air and ground technologies and solutions across Australia and the lndo-Pacific.

Agerris now has 15 Digital Farmhand robotic platforms working on horticulture farms across NSW, VIC and QLD which are supported by a growing team of engineers, business development and operational staff. 

Blueprint Lab’s vision is to extend a human's reach into places they cannot go by creating advanced robotic arms and perception systems for harsh environments. The company has grown rapidly – from a new hardware robotics start-up founded in late 2016 to a reputable robotics company delivering advanced solutions to the global defence market. 

Their products enable complex inspection and intervention for offshore energy companies, military organisations and first responders, marine scientists, and autonomous systems researchers.

Green Atlas is an agricultural services company that assists tree-crop growers in managing the lifecycle of every fruit on every tree in their orchard. Taking a novel approach to data gathering and processing, their unique and field proven patent-pending technology uses cameras and LiDAR mounted to a ground vehicle to scan crops at high speed with high reliability and repeatability.

The company operates in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, New Zealand, Chile, France, Spain and the USA, with more than 35,000 hectares scanned!

Green Atlas leverages a decade of world-leading University research in the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to tree crops, and works closely with Universities, industry peak bodies, and government departments to test and develop its products for further industry benefit.

Marathon Targets develops state of the art autonomous robots. The robots address the lack of realism in today's live-fire training: existing training devices are static or move predictably.

Their robotic targets are unique in the marketplace, as they navigate autonomously within a training area and use Artificial Intelligence to behave in a human-like manner. For example, if one target gets shot, the others can scatter and run for the nearest cover.

Marathon Targets was founded in 2007 by three researchers from the Australian Centre for Field Robotics. It is headquartered in Sydney with offices in the United States, Germany, and the United Arab Emirates.

Mission Systems is a robotics company based in Lane Cove West which was founded in 2017 by University of Sydney Engineering alumni Dr David Battle (PhD '99) and Dr David Johnson (PhD '09).

The company is working on a range of projects involving autonomous systems and sensing technologies with applications in transport and Defence. Mission Systems currently employs nine full-time staff, including five recent graduates from the Faculty of Engineering.
