Aging water infrastructure is failing faster than cities can keep up. With over 240,000 water main breaks each year, communities are forced to react to failures instead of preventing them. The problem is a lack of visibility.

Motmot provides data-driven asset management for underground water main. Our Autonomous Underwater Robot (AUR) inspects live, pressurized pipelines, mapping infrastructure, identifying defects, and collecting high-resolution data—without shutting down service.

We’ve built an asset management platform that turns inspection data into a risk assessment profile, helping municipalities prioritize repairs and optimize budgets. Instead of selling hardware, we operate as a Hardware-as-a-Data-Service (HaaDS) platform, deploying our technology and delivering risk assessments at scale. Cities get the information they need without the complexity of owning or maintaining inspection equipment.

Backed by municipal partners, research institutions, and industry leaders, Motmot is making the underground visible—so cities can move from reactive repairs to predictive planning.
