Ocean Power Technologies (OPT) has signed a memorandum of understanding with Mythos AI to apply its autonomous technology across its Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV) fleet.
The collaboration aims to integrate OPT’s WAM-V ASVs and PowerBuoy platforms with Mythos AI’s autonomous navigation and data platforms.
“This partnership should strengthen our ability to deliver high-performance autonomous maritime systems that are flexible, scalable, and ready for real-world missions,” said Philipp Stratmann, President and CEO of Ocean Power Technologies.
“By integrating Mythos AI’s autonomy framework, we believe OPT will accelerate how quickly and broadly we can deploy advanced capabilities for our customers, without limiting the openness of our platforms or our ability to customise solutions.”
Under the agreement, OPT and Mythos AI will integrate the autonomy stack into OPT’s existing WAM-V fleet, with initial demonstrations scheduled for the first quarter of 2026.
The systems will leverage real-time edge processing, multi-sensor fusion, and adaptive learning for enhanced situational awareness, obstacle avoidance, multi-vehicle coordination, and, in later phases, vehicle-buoy collaboration.
