River water flowing rapidly over rocks with energy infrastructure at the edge
Applications

The grid isn't the only place AI should run

River AI and Ocean AI turn flowing water into compute. See how our renewable-powered infrastructure applies across environmental monitoring, energy generation, and autonomous systems.

What We Explore

River AI in the field

River AI brings sensing, generation, and autonomy to one resilient platform. Each capability is engineered to work in the real world, not just in the lab.

Deployable sensing

Monitor water quality, flow, and environmental conditions from a rugged, autonomous unit. Data streams to your control systems in near real time.

Underwater autonomy

From Sloatsburg to the sea, River AI powers self-guided underwater robots that inspect, map, and respond without a tether or a pilot.

Deployment in action

Deployment in action

See how our autonomous systems move from controlled testing to live operation in rivers and coastal waters, built for real-world conditions.

FIELD FEEDBACK

Deployments that hold up in the field

We integrated the River AI sensing stack into our environmental monitoring grid. The power draw from the hydrokinetic unit kept our sensors online through the full season, no grid tie needed.

We deployed the Edge AI pod to process underwater imaging data in real time. The Digital Twin model gave us a view of the riverbed we couldn't get with periodic sampling.

The autonomous control system responded to changing current conditions without manual input. That's the difference between a prototype and infrastructure you can leave running.
