Announcing the close of its Series A funding round, the company said it was committed to transforming how geophysical seafloor data is acquired and distributed, with an aim for its AUV technology and cloud data platform to reduce the time, environmental impact, and costs associated with seafloor exploration and mapping, speeding up the development of offshore wind energy.

Together with bringing its AUV to full commercialisation, Bedrock also plans to build the largest library of seafloor data that can be licensed to many at a dramatically reduced cost to surveys today, according to the company.
