Bisonte designs, develops and implements advanced mechatronic devices capable of operating in harsh environments. The company was founded with the goal to provide the world with revolutionary robotic solutions and enable mankind to reach higher, farther, and deeper without risking human life.

Since the foundation of Bisonte in 2015, we develop our main project – an underwater drone with the variable-geometry hull: Bisonte NIX. Since then, we delivered mechatronic design services for both scientific institutions and the private sector.

We have an exceptional team of inventors, engineers and scientists who seamlessly combine unique solutions, cutting edge technologies and hands-on experience to make sure your dreams come true in the best possible way.

Our Story

JULY

2015

PROOF OF CONCEPT

The first pre-prototype was successfully tested in a laboratory environment, achieving a staggering payload-to-own-weight ratio over 1.2:1.

APRIL

2017

GOLD MEDAL OF EXPO GENEVE

Our technology was recognized during The International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva is the most important annual event in the world devoted exclusively to inventions presented by both universities and private companies.

OCTOBER

2017

GOLD MEDAL OF IWIS

During IWIS – the largest in Poland and one of the biggest in Europe international events related to innovation and inventiveness – our technology was recognized again.

OCTOBER

2017

US PATENT GRANTED

First of the variable-geometry-based patents was granted by the US patent office (no. 9,776,694).

DECEMBER

2017

NCBR GRANT ACQUIRED 

WE acquired over 4.4M PLN in grant money to develop the most versatile solution in the ROV market worldwide.

AUGUST

2019

PROTOTYPE TESTED

The NIX 300 underwater drone prototype was tested in a natural environment and confirmed our technology’s superiority over every ROV on the market. Our drone is the first underwater vehicle (ROV) to achieve a 1:1 payload-to-own-weight ratio without vertical thrusters.

DECEMBER

2019

PILOT IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT IN GDANSK PORT
We started developing the best-suited ROV solution for ports with the best specialists from one of the largest seaports on the Baltic Sea.

Project 1
Name of the Beneficiary: Bisonte sp. z o.o.
Project title: WIATKA – DRON PODWODNY DO TRUDNYCH ZADAŃ OPERACYJNYCH
(WIATKA – UNDERWATER DRONE FOR DIFFICULT OPERATIONAL TASKS)
No. of the contract: POIR.01.01.01-00-0380/17-00
Project value: 6 032 725.99 PLN
Grant value: 4 423 082.12 PLN

Project 2
Name of the Beneficiary: Bisonte sp. z o.o.
Project Aim: Developing a highly compact underwater drone based on variable hull technology to be used in seaports for enhanced inspection purposes.
Project Results: the NIX 300 underwater drone – a highly compact solution enabling seaport infrastructure operators to conduct an enhanced inspection (visual image + sonar image + ultrasound thickness measurements) without engaging divers in dangerous activities. The expected result  is an easy-to-implement I&M system radically minimizing both risks and expenses of operating seaport infrastructure.
Project value: 1 100 000.00 PLN
Grant value: 880 000.00 PLN
