Blue Robotics is a marine robotics manufacturing company headquartered in Torrance, California. It was founded by Rusty Jehangir in 2014 with a Kickstarter campaign for the T100 Thruster.[1] The company designs, manufactures, and sells hardware and open-source software built for the underwater applications, such as Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), Uncrewed Surface Vehicles (USVs), underwater thrusters, and sonars. It also produces learning resources, including videos and written guides about electronics, technology, and programming.
History[edit]
Blue Robotics was founded by Rusty Jehangir after he realized the need for a low-cost underwater thruster. With his friends, he wanted to send an autonomous surfboard to Hawaii, but could not find affordable off-the-shelf motors to fit his hobbyist budget. Once the market need was realized, he launched a Kickstarter campaign for the T100 Thruster, which raised over $100,000 and sold more than 600 thrusters.
The company now sells a wide array of products for use for underwater robotics, including watertight enclosures, thrusters, depth sensors, lights, and more. They have sold more than 100,000 thrusters and have customers worldwide.[2]
Notable Vehicles[edit]
- Clean Up the Lake - environmental group collecting microplastics and other debris and from Lake Tahoe[3]
- JPL - observing Bruie[4]
- R/V Explorer - wreck hunting group that located German Uboat U-111[5]
