Octobotics Tech is an early-stage robotics engineering startup focused on building advanced robotic solutions for the maritime and oil & gas industries, where inspection and maintenance are complex, risky, and costly.

The company is developing a next-generation marine and aerial robotic platform with modular manipulators designed for autonomous inspection and non-destructive testing (NDT), even on heavily corroded surfaces. The platform supports techniques such as Eddy Current and other NDT methods, and the core technology is already at a matured stage, not just experimental R&D.

Alongside platform development, Octobotics delivers robotic inspection and maintenance services, using specialized robots to navigate challenging environments and perform precision-driven tasks that reduce human risk, downtime, and operational costs. The team also builds custom robotic solutions, working closely with clients to address specific operational and infrastructure challenges.

Backed by a pre-seed round from a Hong Kong–based investor, Octobotics operates as a flat, non-toxic organization that values unconventional thinking, ownership, and hands-on problem solving. The company is now hiring its first core team members to help push the boundaries of applied robotics in real-world industrial environments.
