Radmantis was founded by two academics looking to use their book smarts to create solutions to real problems. The result? A robotic fish management system that uses AI and machine learning to interact with fish in a way that is not harmful to them.
Looking to expand from Midwestern fresh water to salt water, Radmantis participated in the third cohort of the BlueSwell Incubator. During the program, they took advantage of SeaAhead’s partnership with the New England Aquarium to facilitate this alteration to their technology.
