Our goal is to provide the unmanned industry with reliable robotic solutions. With our products and services, we empower our customers to collect both subsea and aerial data. Over the past few years, Hybrid Robotics has been in development of a hybrid system that encompasses the best of both unmanned marine and aerial technologies. The Catalina UHS-1 gives customers the capability to do offshore inspections and research without being on the water.

OUR TEAM
UNMANNED EXPLORED SOLUTIONS
OUR STORY
Hybrid Robotics was founded in 2018 by founders, Matthew Goddard, Ryan Mater, and Aaron Bottke. With less than $1000.00 in their budget and a six-week deadline, the first prototype was born. Over the next year, Hybrid expanded its team, relocated to a new facility, and developed the prototype now known as the Catalina UHS.
