Stingray's underwater AI laser robots kill sea lice on Norwegian salmon farms
Overview
Stingray's underwater AI laser robots are deployed on Norwegian salmon farms to remove sea lice, according to a November 9, 2026 post by Boris Power on X. Power says Norway has more than 2,000 of the robots guarding over 50 million salmon and trout around the clock.
Each robot uses two cameras and AI to confirm a louse, then fires a green laser from up to 2 meters away. Power says the laser kills the louse without harming the fish. The claims come from a single social media post and have not been independently verified in this report.
