Beringia solution programs align marine technology teams with validated pathways from concept through deployment, including navigation systems, robotic anchor installation, and vehicle control platforms.
Accelerating mission advantage through intelligent autonomy
Transparency, controllability, and layered safety controls are built into the autonomy stack so AI strengthens human judgment under pressure.
Independent Robotics is a Montreal-based robotics and AI company whose mission is to make robots useful in the real world. A 7–10 person team drawing from Samsung, Google, Clearpath, Locus Robotics, and Adept MobileRobots — and a NATO DIANA Tech Competition winner — they build natural-language mission planning (IMPAC), AI-powered robotic-data analytics (Insight Engine), and intelligent autonomous underwater vehicles (Aqua2 and its successor, the AQ3-LH "Loggerhead"). Proudly made in Canada. Beringia Marine serves as their primary US market representative, technical advisor, and US Prime contractor / integration partner for US government programs.
Core Technology
IMPAC — Robotic Automation Platform
A no-code solution that directly converts natural-language instructions into execution-ready state-machine DSL. Mission impact from launch to debrief — IMPAC increases operational tempo, tightens decision loops, and gives teams confidence that autonomous assets remain aligned with mission intent: in the field, on the factory floor, in the air, and underwater.
Speak to robots in plain language — no-code natural-language instructions
Converts instructions into robust, validated state machines, visualized as human-intelligible steps — no more raw code review
Generation — Platform-Aware Automation: execution-ready state machines that leverage your platform's hardware and software without hitting constraints and limitations
Execution — IMPAC Execution Engine: run the generated DSL directly on local hardware; compatible with all common compute platforms
Awareness — Real-Time System Awareness: operators, supervisors, and analysts share one mission dashboard with instant visibility into task status and system health
Scale — one autonomy stack across heterogeneous field robots, indoor, or IoT automation and mission profiles
Integrate — Flexible Integration Layer: connect custom hardware, specialized sensors, and third-party AI modules without rebuilding core systems
Deploy — Cloud or On-Prem: deployment models aligned to your security posture, compliance requirements, and operational constraints
Integrates with NATO Command and Control standards
Built for Complex Coordination — heterogeneous hardware platforms, robotic fleets, IoT/sensing clusters
Built for Defense & ISR — air, land, and sea missions with on-prem / off-grid deployment
Built for Inspection & Survey — roadway, runway, and infrastructure at fleet scale
Built for Custom Solutions — rapid onboarding of custom hardware and sensors
Example: "Send all drones above 60% battery to patrol the perimeter, the rest should come home and recharge"
Demonstrated controlling a Jackal UGV with natural language
Insight Engine — AI Analytics for Robotic Data
Unlock actionable intelligence from your robots' data. A modular, robotics-first analytics suite to tackle your most difficult real-world challenges and largest datasets. NATO DIANA Tech Competition winner.
Increase analyst efficiency
Condense large datasets
Recall for long-term trends
Immediate notifications
Customizable to identify both known targets and anomalies across disparate data sources
Consistent, standard reports
Auditable historical records
Module — Summarization & Compression: automatically processes raw data with a user-selected toolset into digestible summaries (text, images, charts, heatmaps)
Module — Detection & Anomalies: detects known phenomena across many sensors (camera, sonar, temperature, …) from as little as a single example, then learns the patterns to identify outliers and anomalies
Module — Robot State & Location: understands the physical state of equipment, including location; augments other modules so detections become geolocated points of interest
Bespoke modules for unique problems, with deep AI and perception expertise; an off-the-shelf module library expanded regularly
Outputs: Email/SMS · Dashboard · API
NATO DIANA Tech Competition Winner
Demonstrated fine-grained visual classification gains: 17% → 77% baseline accuracy, with 77–83% top-1 and 90%+ top-3 on military-vehicle subtypes

Aqua2 — Intelligent Underwater Autonomy
World-leading autonomy for high-fidelity 3D surveying, monitoring, and inspection. An onboard GPU brings edge AI to the cloud-denied underwater domain, and the vehicle is rapid, single-person deployable. Available for purchase now.
World-leading autonomy for high-fidelity 3D surveying, monitoring, inspection
Onboard GPU for edge AI in the cloud-denied underwater domain
Rapid single-person deployable (Pelican Air 1607 carry-case)
The next generation of agile underwater autonomy and successor to the Aqua2 AUV. Designed with both rapid deployment and continuous deployment in mind, AQ3-LH can be your first responder and your round-the-clock eyes beneath the waves — ready when you are. Developed with Canada's Ocean Supercluster. Coming 2026.
