Intelligence that acts to resolve its own uncertainty.
An independent research group in Victoria, British Columbia, building autonomous systems that perceive, model, and decide in noisy, high-stakes physical environments — with the open sea as our proving ground.
Theory that has to survive contact with the sea
We build systems that hold a model of their world, test it against every sensation, and act to resolve their own uncertainty. The group is independent and interdisciplinary — computer graphics, theoretical computer science, philosophy of cognitive science, marine engineering — convened by Wiser Marine Technologies Ltd. Our proving ground is SV Endurance, an instrumented, off-grid, solar-electric sailing vessel in the Salish Sea.

Profundi fuses eight unreliable marine data sources into one continuous seafloor model with per-point confidence — and says unknown where the evidence runs out.
The vessel awareness model tracks a sailing vessel’s attitude, position, and motion live at 50 Hz, calibrated from 3.96 million real at-sea samples.
The supervisory agent has watched over the group’s own compute infrastructure unattended for months, leaving logged decision records for every disposition.
