Press release -
Nido Robotics to showcase its underwater drone family at Oceanology International London 2020
Nido Robotics, the Murcia-based Spanish firm dedicated to the development of cutting-edge subsea robotics, will be proudly exhibiting its family of game-changing underwater drones on stand L611 at Oceanology International 2020 (March 17-19, ExCel London).
Currently, the core products in Nido Robotics’ portfolio are two remotely-operated vehicles (ROVs). The super-portable Sibiu Nano weighs a mere 5.15kg, will fit into the smallest spaces, and is as easy to manoeuvre as it is to transport. However, its performance punches well above its weight, enabling operators to conduct detailed underwater inspection procedures in depths of up to 100m with the crisp live images provided by its 1080p camera.
The 16kg Sibiu Pro, meanwhile, is a modular system capable of carrying several payloads for a range of applications including the cleaning of subsea assets, measuring cathodic protection, gauging metal thickness or collating environmental data. Both systems are robust, with interchangeable batteries that make them fully independent, and can easily be deployed by hand by anyone, anywhere, at any time.
“My expert international team and myself are all pleased and excited to be bringing our specialised maritime industry products, services and solutions to an event as prestigious and influential as Oi London 2020,” says Roy Torgersen, founder and CEO of Nido Robotics, “and we’re very much looking forward to displaying our uniquely compact, tough, versatile and cost-efficient family of underwater drones to as many show visitors as possible.”

About Roy Torgersen, Nido Robotics founder & CEO
Captain Roy Torgersen is a Master Mariner by trade who has spent more than a decade on board large ships working for the oil & gas, offshore wind & construction, deep sea mining and scientific industries around the world. At the peak of his maritime career he oversaw extremely demanding operations on board some of the world’s most technically-advanced ships as Chief Officer and Senior DP Officer. In addition to his technical know-how, one of his most beneficial qualities is his unwavering attention to safety and security; an invaluable attribute which earned Roy and his crewmates several awards over the years.
An avid scuba diver, he spent most of his free time searching for and documenting lost planes and ships in regions such as the Asia Pacific. After hunting unsuccessfully for an underwater robot capable of addressing the demanding requirements of his expeditions, Roy founded Nido Robotics in 2016, with co-founder Enrique González, in order to democratise access to this technology.
About Nido Robotics: The company was founded in 2016 to develop and manufacture unmanned, remotely-operated subsea vehicles. Since then, more than 150 firms worldwide, including utilities companies, diving contractors, port operators and refineries, have deployed Nido Robotics’ products in their underwater inspection and maintenance jobs.
In 2019, Nido Robotics was selected as one of the four best robotics start-ups in the EU, and in 2020 the company was selected as one of 17, out of more than 2,500 evaluated, to set up pilot programs with major maritime contractors through the PortXL Business Fast Track program.
Nido Robotics has a proven track record of working with the innovation departments of global Fortune 500 companies and has been awarded several EU grants for R&D.
