BeeX押注自主无人机可替代潜水员和ROV进行海底检测
新加坡国立大学孵化的BeeX打造悬停式自主水下无人机，检测海底资产成本可降低50%；2026年完成770万美元A轮融资。
BeeX
做的是什么生意
BeeX designs, deploys and operates hovering autonomous underwater vehicles (HAUVs) — AI-powered drones that inspect offshore wind, oil & gas, subsea cables and coastal infrastructure without dive teams or ROV pilots.
启动资金：S$10M (US$7.7M) Series A closed June 2026; earlier seven-figure seed from Cap Vista (2021) and a post-seed round in October 2023
起因
BeeX began as an eight-person undergraduate project at the National University of Singapore led by Grace Chia and Goh Eng Wei, who co-founded the underwater robotics team there more than fourteen years ago. The company spun out in 2018 to commercialize hovering autonomous underwater vehicles for inspecting nearshore and offshore infrastructure, where conventional methods need large support vessels, specialized pilots and complex safety protocols.
经过
BeeX raised a seven-figure seed from Singapore defence investor Cap Vista and a post-seed round in October 2023, then built its next-generation HAUV, BETTA, which was fully booked through the end of 2025 before its official release. In September 2025 it launched a S$10 million Series A — more than half soft-committed before launch — and closed it in June 2026 led by Monk's Hill Ventures with SEEDS, ShipsFocus, OCTAVE Capital and NUS Technology Holdings. The round funds expanding its fleet of autonomous underwater drones and its operational reach; Singapore's Ministry of Defence has also partnered with BeeX on a multi-million-dollar contract covering coastal and subsea inspection, base protection and mine countermeasures.
结果
Still running and expanding: as of mid-2026 BeeX reports 700+ deployments across Europe and Asia and seven drones operational, with the Series A financing fleet growth across offshore energy, defence and coastal infrastructure.
背景
BeeX是一家新加坡初创公司，起源于新加坡国立大学2008年的本科生机器人项目，2018年由Grace Chia和Goh Eng Wei独立运营。它制造悬停式自主水下航行器（HAUV），用于检测海上风电场、油气资产、海底电缆和沿海基础设施，无需潜水员、ROV操控员或所需支援船。
公司的赌注是完全自主的水下无人机能够主导海底检测市场：受监管、重复性的检测需求传统上成本高昂，而BeeX的自主系统能以比工作级ROV操作低50%的成本提供可靠的水下数据，运营风险降低90%。
BeeX于2021年从Cap Vista获得七位数种子轮融资，2023年10月完成种子后轮融资，随后于2025年9月启动新加坡币1000万元（美元770万元）A轮融资，2026年6月由Monk's Hill Ventures领投并完成，参与者包括SEEDS、ShipsFocus、OCTAVE Capital和NUS Technology Holdings。其下一代HAUV BETTA在正式发布前已被预订至2025年底，截至2026年，公司报告在欧洲和亚洲完成700多次部署。
这件事要成立，得有什么
- 海底检测受监管、重复且成本高昂：潜水员和ROV需要大型支援船和专业团队，因此更便宜的自主替代方案具有可衡量的投资回报率。
- 创始团队领导新加坡国立大学水下机器人团队超过十四年，赋予了BeeX专有的水下数据和运营成熟度，这是竞争对手所缺乏的。
- 水下自主在历史上曾被认为不可能——没有GPS、能见度差、水流不可预测——但创始人押注机器学习使其成为可能，而BETTA 2025年的预订验证了这一点。
- 与新加坡国防部签订的数百万美元合同证明了机构对自主海底检测的需求，降低了进入海上风电和油气领域的风险。
可借鉴之处
自主技术的最佳切入点是有监管、重复性和高成本的工作：替代潜水员和船舶的检测比在开放式任务中替代人类更容易销售。
后续进展
截至2026年9月，BeeX正在运营和扩张，部署七架无人机，在欧洲和亚洲完成700多次部署，2026年6月的A轮融资支持其扩大机队和全球运营范围，覆盖海上能源、国防和沿海基础设施。它将其Sambal软件套件定位为从检测规划到地理参考报告的全流程工作流；尚未披露收入数据或退出计划。
