Magnesis Robotics is developing a bio-inspired electromagnetic jet propulsion and pumping system for underwater applications that eliminates noisy propellers and energy-intensive components, offering silent, ultra-efficient thrust and flow for defense, offshore energy, aquaculture, and wastewater operations. Their modular, seal-free actuator technology mimics squid jet propulsion to dramatically reduce power consumption, underwater noise, and maintenance requirements across both underwater vehicle propulsion and submersible pumping systems.
