ENGINEERED DIFFERENTLY.
At EKOTERRA, we develop robotic systems around a simple principle: when conventional engineering reaches its limits, the architecture itself must be reconsidered.
Our platforms are built around proprietary technologies developed in Morocco to solve fundamental challenges in field robotics — mobility over extreme terrain, weight and ground pressure, and the movement of heavy payloads between the surface and the deep sea.
From mechanical design and prototyping to testing and continuous improvement, our engineering is driven by real operational constraints.

VARIABLE-BUOYANCY SUBSEA SYSTEM
Moving heavy payloads between surface and depth.
Conventional underwater robots are highly effective for observation and intervention, but moving substantial payloads repeatedly between the surface and significant depths remains a major engineering constraint.
Developed for Gabbro, EKOTERRA’s patented architecture approaches the problem differently.
A surface-connected system allows water and air to be managed within the platform to actively modify its buoyancy. Gabbro can therefore control its descent and ascent while transporting significant payloads, enabling repeated cycles between the surface and the seabed.
The result is more than an underwater vehicle: it is a robotic platform capable of carrying, deploying, retrieving and returning equipment and payloads across the water column.

ARTICULATED FOUR-TRACK MOBILITY
Rethinking how heavy robots cross obstacles.
Tracked vehicles provide excellent traction, but conventional continuous-track architectures quickly encounter geometric limits when faced with large obstacles, steep transitions, rubble or highly irregular terrain.
The technology developed for Granite replaces this conventional architecture with four independently articulated track units.
By changing their geometry relative to the chassis and terrain, the tracks become active components of the robot’s mobility rather than passive points of contact.
This architecture enables Granite to adapt its configuration during obstacle negotiation, combining the stability and traction expected from a tracked machine with significantly greater freedom when crossing complex terrain.
The result is a heavy intervention platform designed to keep moving where conventional tracked architectures reach their limits.
TRACTION, REENGINEERED.
ULTRA-LIGHT GROUND MOBILITY
Mobility without the weight.
For many ground robots, greater capability traditionally means greater mass. EKOTERRA challenged that assumption.
The technology behind Basalte combines an ultra-light platform architecture with proprietary lightweight wheel technology designed to distribute loads while maintaining all-terrain mobility.
Extremely low ground pressure allows the platform to travel across soft, fragile or unstable surfaces with minimal disturbance, while the reduction in vehicle mass improves range, transportability and energy efficiency.
This creates a different class of robotic mobility: a platform capable of carrying useful equipment over long distances without the weight and footprint normally associated with all-terrain unmanned vehicles.
For environmental monitoring, wildfire operations, disaster response and access to sensitive terrain, sometimes the best way to go further is simply to weigh less.
LIGHT FOOTPRINT. LONG REACH.
DEVELOPED IN MOROCCO. BUILT FOR THE WORLD.
EKOTERRA’s technologies are conceived and engineered in Morocco.
Our approach combines mechanical engineering, robotics, rapid prototyping and field-driven design to create technologies that address problems for which conventional solutions are not enough.
These innovations form the technological foundation of our robotic platforms today — and of the next generation currently under development.
We don’t just build robots. We engineer new ways for robots to move, reach and operate.
