Impossible Metals leverages advanced autonomous robotics and AI to conduct selective deep-sea mineral collection with minimal environmental impact. At the core of our system is the Buoyancy Engine, which enables dynamic control of vertical position and achieves true neutral buoyancy. This eliminates the need for downward thrusters that disturb sediment and marine life. The Buoyancy Engine powers the Eureka Collection System, our robotics architecture for low-impact deep-sea operations.
Built on that foundation, the Eureka Collection System is a scalable fleet of autonomous underwater robots designed to collect nodules individually, without direct contact with the seafloor. This system sets a new technical standard for environmentally selective mineral access in the deep ocean.”
