EVOLOGICS GMBH

Their core work

EvoLogics is a Berlin-based SME that develops underwater communication and robotics technology, specializing in acoustic modems, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), and sensor systems for marine applications. They build hardware and software for underwater detection, localization, and monitoring — enabling both scientific ocean research and industrial offshore operations. Their work spans from fish population monitoring and biodiversity assessment to radioactivity detection in ocean environments, consistently providing the underwater technology backbone for multi-partner research consortia.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In 2015–2018, EvoLogics focused squarely on underwater vehicle technology and offshore operations — AUV/ROV cooperation, sonar systems, and acoustic detection for industrial and fisheries applications. From 2019 onward, their work shifted toward environmental monitoring and sensing, with projects addressing radioactivity in ocean ecosystems, bio-inspired robotics, and autonomous sensor networks. The trajectory shows a company moving from pure underwater engineering toward applied environmental science, adding ecological monitoring and sustainability dimensions to their core robotics expertise.

EvoLogics is evolving from an underwater hardware/robotics specialist into an environmental ocean intelligence company, combining autonomous platforms with advanced sensing for ecological and safety monitoring.

How they like to work

EvoLogics operates exclusively as a consortium participant — they have never coordinated an H2020 project, preferring to contribute specialized underwater technology to larger research teams. With 73 unique partners across 19 countries in just 6 projects, they work in large, diverse consortia and are clearly comfortable in international, multi-disciplinary settings. This pattern suggests a reliable technology provider that integrates well into complex projects without needing to drive the agenda.

EvoLogics has built an extensive network of 73 partners across 19 countries through 6 projects, averaging over 12 unique partners per project. Their reach is broadly European with no strong geographic concentration, reflecting participation in large pan-European consortia.

What sets them apart

EvoLogics occupies a rare niche as an SME that bridges underwater robotics hardware with real-world marine monitoring applications. Unlike academic labs that build prototypes or large defense contractors, they provide commercially viable underwater communication and autonomy technology at a scale accessible to research consortia. Their combination of AUV engineering, acoustic systems, and environmental sensing makes them a natural technology partner for any project that needs to put intelligent machines in the ocean.

Highlights from their portfolio
