Bluefin Robotics Acquires Hawkes Remotes, Expands Into ROV Market

摘要

Bluefin Robotics acquired the assets of Hawkes Remotes Inc. in September and hopes to use the acquisition to break into the oil and gas industry. San Francisco-based HRI develops remotely operated vehicles, and Quincy, Mass.-based Bluefin plans to leverage its expertise in au- tonomous underwater vehicles and subsea vehicles to make unmanned systems with hybrid capabilities, the company says. "We are thrilled to be working with Bluefin Robotics to take this technology to market," says Graham Hawkes, cofounder and CTO of HRI and president and CTO of Hawkes Ocean Technologies, which created HRI as a subsidiary just last year.
