Canada’s Ocean Supercluster has announced three new ocean innovation projects valued at USD$15.8 million (CAD$22.1 million). This includes the USD$2.57 million (CAD$3.6 million) Marsupial Flying Robots Project led by Avestec, the USD$2.15 million (CAD$3 million) Lilypad: Electric Charge Barge Project led by Mostar Labs, and the USD$11.08 million (CAD$15.5 million) Enabling Scalable Seaweed Restoration & Cultivation Project led by Canadian Pacifico Seaweeds.
Marsupial Flying Robots Project
This project is advancing robotics through the development of Marsupial Flying Robots – an integrated system designed for complex inspection and maintenance tasks, such as those involving rope access, scaffolding, and diver-based inspections in offshore and marine environments. The project enhances safety, reduces downtime, and lowers costs by minimizing human exposure to hazardous conditions.
The project is led by Burnaby, BC-based Avestec, in partnership with Nanaimo, BC-based Reach Systems Inc, and Coquitlam, BC-based Anarampower Ltd.
Avestec’s Marsupial Flying Robot Project will deliver a dual-robot system functioning as a collaborative robotic mechanism to conduct complex inspections in offshore and challenging environments. By driving the commercialization of advanced robotic inspection solutions, the initiative is set to generate revenue growth and market expansion for Canadian SMEs, strengthen supply chains, and foster innovation-driven economic development.
