Open-Source Marine Robotics.
Built for the Real World.
We distribute the complete Blue Robotics ecosystem — the world's most popular open-source ROV, the BlueBoat uncrewed surface vessel, and the thrusters, sonars, sensors and enclosures that the whole industry builds on. Engineered in California, deployed everywhere.
Two Platforms. Every Environment.
Whether you need to go below the surface or operate on top of it, Blue Robotics builds the platform — and the open ecosystem around it — to get the job done.
Underwater ROV
BlueROV2
The world's most popular open-source underwater ROV. Six T200 thrusters (upgradeable to eight), 1080p low-light camera, BlueOS software stack, and an open accessory ecosystem. From infrastructure inspection to scientific research — one platform for all depths to 300m.
Uncrewed Surface Vessel
BlueBoat
A capable, foldable catamaran USV designed for autonomous survey, monitoring, and data collection missions. GPS waypoint navigation, up to 8 batteries for 62 hours and 220 km of range, and a 15 kg payload — ready for Cerulean Sonar multibeam and imaging sensors out of the box.

Beyond the two platforms, we stock the building blocks of the entire Blue Robotics ecosystem — propulsion, acoustics, instruments, enclosures and every accessory in between.

Built Different from the Ground Up
Blue Robotics was founded in 2014 with a single ambition: lower the barriers to ocean exploration. Every hardware and software decision traces back to that mission.
Open-Source First
BlueOS, ArduSub, and ArduRover are fully open-source. Modify, extend, or integrate third-party sensors and payloads without vendor lock-in.
Marine-Grade Hardware
Every component — from T200 thrusters to WetLink Penetrators — is designed, tested, and rated for salt water. Not repurposed from consumer electronics.
Field-Serviceable
The BlueROV2 and BlueBoat are designed to be assembled, repaired, and upgraded in the field. Full documentation, available spares, and an active community forum.
Ecosystem Integration
Native support for Cerulean Sonar imaging, positioning, and bathymetry systems. Build a complete sensing platform from matched, proven hardware.
BlueOS — The Open Marine Platform
BlueOS is the browser-based software stack running on every Blue Robotics vehicle. Configure, monitor, and extend your platform — from a laptop, tablet, or shore station.
BlueOS Interface
Browser-based UI accessible from any device on the same network. Video streaming, autopilot management, system monitoring, and software updates — no app installation needed.
ArduSub & ArduRover
Proven ArduPilot-based autopilot firmware. Stabilize, Depth Hold, and Position Hold modes on the ROV. Full GPS waypoint missions and loiter on the BlueBoat.
Cockpit GCS
Modern ground control station with widget-based UI, joystick support (Xbox, PlayStation), and video recording with telemetry overlay. Replaces QGroundControl for daily operations.
Complete Your System with Cerulean Sonar
Blue Robotics platforms are the preferred integration targets for Cerulean Sonar — purpose-designed brackets, native BlueOS support, and validated configurations available off the shelf.
Imaging Sonars
Mount the Omniscan 450 FS on the BlueROV2 for forward-looking navigation and inspection in turbid water. The Omniscan 450 SS-BB integrates directly to the BlueBoat hull.

Subsea Positioning
Track your BlueROV2's position in real time with the ROV Locator series or Omnitrack USBL. Geo-reference footage, mark points of interest, and navigate GPS-denied environments.

Bathymetry
The Surveyor 240-16 multibeam echosounder is validated on the BlueBoat — building a complete autonomous survey vessel. Map the seafloor at a fraction of traditional survey costs.
View bathymetry systems →Where Blue Robotics Platforms Work
From shallow port inspections to ocean-going survey missions, Blue Robotics platforms are deployed across every professional marine environment.
Infrastructure Inspection
Bridges, piers, pipelines, dam walls, and port structures. The BlueROV2 reaches 300m and streams live 1080p video to topside operators.
Hydrographic Survey
The BlueBoat with Surveyor 240-16 MBES runs autonomous multibeam bathymetry missions covering large areas faster than any manual survey team.
Marine Science
Universities and research institutes use the BlueROV2 as a low-cost scientific platform for reef surveys, ecology studies, and environmental monitoring.
Aquaculture
Inspect net pens, monitor fish health, and survey seabed conditions under cages — with the BlueROV2 or BlueBoat, depending on the task.
Search & Recovery
Locate and document submerged objects with the BlueROV2. Add the Newton Subsea Gripper or Newton Sediment Sampler for intervention capability.
Education & R&D
Open-source architecture makes Blue Robotics platforms the teaching tool of choice for robotics engineering programs and marine technology R&D labs worldwide.
Environmental Monitoring
Deploy the BlueBoat on long-duration water quality monitoring missions. Low operating cost enables continuous data collection across large areas.
Underwater Filming
Production companies and cinematographers use the BlueROV2 as a versatile underwater camera platform for documentary, commercial, and scientific filming.

Vectored Thruster System & Heavy Kit Upgrade
The BlueROV2 is equipped with patented T200 thrusters, engineered for maximum efficiency and durability in harsh underwater environments. These thrusters deliver a high thrust-to-weight ratio and smooth, precise control, thanks to their vectored configuration. This setup allows the ROV to maneuver effortlessly in any direction, even in strong currents.
The standard BlueROV2 includes six thrusters, but for advanced missions, you can upgrade to eight with the Heavy Configuration Kit. This enhancement provides full six-degree-of-freedom movement and superior stability, making it ideal for carrying heavier payloads or operating in challenging conditions.
Performance Features:
High Thrust Output: Designed for demanding subsea operations
Corrosion-Resistant Materials: Built for long-term reliability
Adjustable Gain Settings: Fine-tune responsiveness for delicate tasks or high-power maneuvers
