Originally published in Sea Technology Magazine, Volume 62, #12, December 2021 The words “autonomy”, “autonomous systems”, “AI”, and the like are thrown around in conferences, product marketing materials, research papers, and prospectus on the future of the marine robotics industry. These terms inspire notions of an exciting future where we ask our robots to perform […]
Today we’re excited to officially announce a new size of the WetLink Penetrator (WLP) and updates to several products that now use it! The WetLink Penetrator (WLP) is our patent-pending, next-generation solution for low-cost, high pressure, high reliability sealing of electrical cables as they pass into enclosures or other devices. It’s rated to a depth […]
Today we’re excited to announce a new product: the 4S 15.6Ah Lithium-ion Battery for the BlueROV2. Unlike most of our products, this is one we never planned to make! We have the original lithium-ion battery (with black wrapper) that does a perfectly great job of powering the BlueROV2 through long and tough missions. Those batteries […]
It’s hard to believe that the BlueROV2 is over 5 years old, having originally launched in June 2016! There are nearly 3,000 of them out in the world now, helping explorers explore, students learn, and businesses operate. While its name has been the same since the start, the ROV and its components have undergone many […]
Today we’re excited to announce a new product that goes with our Fathom-X Tether Interface and improves expandability on the BlueROV2 – it’s the Ethernet Switch!

Originally published in Sea Technology Magazine, Volume 61, #1, January 2020 With ocean health becoming a topic of increasing public concern, there’s a growing interest in using marine robotics and sensing to solve ocean-related problems. Marine robotics and sensing can drive public awareness, scientific understanding, and direct intervention to ocean health problems at a scale […]
Originally published in ROV Planet Magazine, Issue 21 As you page through the latest marine news, it’s easy to see why ROVs and other robotic marine vehicles are nearly synonymous with the industrial and commercial world. The value they provide is undeniable and worth a heavy price tag. Less obvious are the many applications where […]
Underwater robots have been an important tool for marine science, exploration, and work for the past thirty or forty years. We’ve become familiar with terms like ROV and AUV to describe types of subsea vehicles and these terms have been stable for years. However, there’s a new term cropping up in the last few years: […]
