Blue Robotics

Blue Robotics makes low-cost, high-performance components and systems for marine robotics, with its focus on underwater and surface vehicles used for ocean exploration and related subsea work. Its product line covers underwater ROVs, uncrewed surface vessels, thrusters, sonars, sensors, cameras, communication and control hardware, power systems, cables, connectors, penetrators, enclosures, buoyancy, ballast and other supporting parts. The company offers software and documentation around its platforms, including onboard computer and control software, autopilot documentation, and guides for setup, operation, integration and troubleshooting. Its offerings gather around major vehicle families such as BlueBoat and BlueROV2, but the scope extends well beyond those platforms. Blue Robotics sells individual components and spare parts, accessories and add-ons, and third-party products through The Reef. It provides open-source software and hardware resources, technical reference material, calculators, community forums, and educational guides to help users build, configure and operate marine robotics systems. The company serves a range of users that takes in hobbyists, students, community members, professional users and service providers, and its products cover applications such as hydrographic survey, sonar integration, imaging, navigation and other underwater operations. What distinguishes Blue Robotics comes down to accessibility, modularity and openness. Its products come affordable and flexible, with straightforward designs that allow customization, modification and reconfiguration, so a user can adapt a vehicle rather than buy a new one. Clear documentation, a supporting community, and open-source software and hardware form part of the same approach. Beyond selling products, the company supports the broader marine robotics ecosystem through research paper directories, service provider directories, partner programs, distributor programs, events and custom product inquiries. It therefore participates both as a product manufacturer and as an infrastructure provider for the marine robotics field. The same catalogue serves a student building a first vehicle and a professional integrating a sonar onto a working platform, with parts, documentation and community support available to both.
