BeeX Autonomous Systems, a Singapore-based deep-tech robotics company, will showcase its flagship autonomous underwater inspection drone, A.IKANBILIS, at Oceanology International 2026, with live demonstrations highlighting the future of subsea inspection and survey operations.

BeeX develops and operates autonomous underwater inspection drones designed to transform how subsea infrastructure inspections are performed. With a strong focus on energy and defense applications, the company conducts complex survey and inspection missions across critical subsea assets.
Transforming Subsea Inspection Through Autonomy
Traditionally, subsea inspection operations rely on large support vessels, tethered remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), and highly skilled pilots. These missions can be costly, logistically complex, and operationally demanding.

BeeX’s autonomous inspection drones are designed to operate with minimal operator intervention and without a tether when required, enabling speedier and more cost-efficient subsea inspection missions while maintaining predictable, high-quality data collection.
The company is known for its hovering autonomous underwater vehicle A.IKANBILIS, a compact inspection drone engineered to perform detailed subsea inspections with advanced onboard intelligence.
A.IKANBILIS Live at Oceanology International 2026 London
At Oceanology International 2026, BeeX will present live in-water demonstrations of A.IKANBILIS to showcase the real-world capabilities of fully autonomous subseainspection.
A.IKANBILIS is the world’s smallest autonomous underwater inspection drone equippedwith a fully integrated stack of positioning and perception sensors, enabling advancedautonomy and precise navigation in complex underwater environments.
During the demonstration:
- One drone will execute a fully untethered seabed survey and anomaly inspection,showcasing intelligent decision-making and mission adaptation in real time.
- A second drone will deliver a live underwater feed of the mission, allowingspectators to observe the measurable performance of fully autonomous operationsin the field.

Invitation to Industry Stakeholders
BeeX invites operators, engineers, and innovation teams from the oil and gas, offshore renewables, nearshore infrastructure, and defense sectors to attend the demonstrations and explore how autonomous inspection technology can improve the efficiency, safety, and cost structure of subsea operations.
Schedule of Activities
BeeX will host live demonstrations at Cabin 1 during Oceanology International 2026:
March 10–12, 2026
1:30 PM – 2:00 PM (daily)
The BeeX team will also be welcoming guests at Stand G702 for discussions on how autonomy is transforming underwater work and enabling more efficient subsea operations.
