WhalePOD

Thaum, a startup team from the ANU Research School of Physics deep-tech incubator Momentum, is commercialising WhalePOD – a technology to enable a new age of industrialisation where environmental conservation and scientific contribution is an outcome of business, not a burden.

WhalePOD’s disruptive vision capabilities help offshore industries implement harm mitigation strategies to protect marine mammals.

The core platform technology is a high-performance, panoramic, thermal and colour camera that uses artificial intelligence for 24/7, all-weather, and long-range detection of objects of interest in harsh marine environments.

Aqeel Akber, the project lead of WhalePOD (pictured above on the far left), has been awarded the prestigious 2023 Stanford Australia Foundation – CSIRO ON Accelerate 7 Scholarship.
