A team of bright minds delivering innovative solutions for underwater operations
At Subsea Formula, we are a cohesive team of experts in robotics, electronics, mechanical engineering, mathematics, chemistry, and software development, dedicated to providing state‑of‑the‑art tools for underwater operations.
We offer a personal, considered approach, applying rigorous thinking to find the best solution. Communication is direct with senior experts who plan, oversee and deliver the work, rather than through a soulless, process-led handover.
Subsea Formula has its own facilities and equipment for the manufacture of high‑quality components and tools, and our team also has strong relationships and an extensive network across German manufacturing facilities, forged over years of collaboration.

An extensive network of experts in science, physics, chemistry, and mathematics for cutting-edge research, along with partners equipped with the tools and expertise required for high-precision component manufacturing.
Designer
Vera can find beauty anywhere and she always shares it with others. A master of photography and visual storytelling, she transforms moments into stories rich in atmosphere and emotion.
Kirill has led high-profile robotics projects, including the development and operation of large-scale robots for clients such as Volkswagen and Volvo and art figures, showcased at their major events and theatrical productions. Notably, his Orangutan robot was exhibited at Burning Man in the US.
Oracultang. The giant speaking animated robotic monkey that was made for the “Burning Man” festival to represent modern art in the US.
Alien Egg. The customer idea was to create a lightweight egg with a set of mirrors that had to be mounted on inner mechanical manipulators. And finally put the actress inside. The egg was flying up every time at the beginning of show.
Mad Chair. Offroad wheelchair for people with disabilities.
RoboArm. The three meters height robotic arm manipulator used as the attraction for kids and adults.
Yury has successfully led Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) projects, managing every stage from initial scoping to field operations. His role encompassed business development, stakeholder collaboration, solution architecture design, technical implementation oversight, integration with third-party systems, and ensuring full regulatory compliance.
Julia led the preparation and sale of a 150 MW gas-fired power plant, overseeing documentation management and stakeholder relationships. Also Julia has a proven and distinguished record in yacht sales.
Robert designed and manufactured components for racing cars and advanced CNC projects.
A wide range of machinery and tools is available on site and through partners, including 3‑CNC milling machines, lathes, grinding and drilling machines, CNC plasma cutting system, welding systems, hyperbaric pressure test chambers, ultrasonic testing equipment and a lot of accompanying tools together with other equipment for thorough flaw detection.
We work with 316/316L stainless steel, titanium grades 2 and 5, nickel‑based alloys, nickel aluminium bronze, and aluminium, selected according to the requirements of each project. Equipment and materials are applied accordingly throughout manufacture and testing.
We have everything needed to manufacture high‑quality ROV solutions, parts and tools.
Subsea Formula team is distributed across London, Istanbul and Funchal, Madeira.
Our R&D team and facilities are based in the picturesque city of Funchal on Madeira Island. We are ideally situated to test and develop subsea products in a real‑world environment. Madeira, the summit of a massive volcano rising 6 km from the Atlantic Ocean floor, offers rapidly deepening waters perfect for rigorous product testing.
We warmly welcome clients to visit and experience the natural beauty of Madeira, with its comfortable climate, clean sea air, and stunning views of the mountains and the open ocean. Many choose to extend their stay, and we are delighted to organise personalised tours to showcase the island’s hidden gems, far from the typical tourist paths.
Explore the future of subsea technology with us in one of the world’s most beautiful and dynamic testing grounds.
