Remotely operated vehicle BlueROV2

BlueROV2 - High-Performance, Affordable Underwater ROV
The BlueROV2 offers unmatched performance, flexibility, and expandability, making it the most affordable high-performance underwater ROV on the market.

Easy Assembly & Upgradability

Partially assembled, the BlueROV2 takes 6-8 hours to complete, giving you valuable hands-on experience with the system. This knowledge enables future upgrades and customizations.

Live HD Camera & Lighting

Equipped with a 1080p HD wide-angle camera on a tiltable mount, the BlueROV2 provides clear underwater visuals. Two or four dimmable Lumen Lights deliver up to 6,000 lumens for deep-sea exploration.

Precision Thruster Control

Powered by six T200 Thrusters in a vectored configuration, the ROV offers precise movement in any direction. It can be expanded to eight thrusters for full six-degree control and stability, with adjustable gain levels for fine-tuned control and power.

Depth Rating: 300 Meters

Available with acrylic enclosures rated for 100 meters or anodized aluminum for 300 meters, the BlueROV2 includes a vacuum test pump to ensure seal integrity before every dive.

Modular Design & Expandability

The open-frame design supports easy integration of accessories like ROV grippers and scanning sonar. With a payload skid for larger equipment, the BlueROV2 can be customized or expanded for specific applications, allowing users to build their ideal underwater robot.

Powered by Navigator & BlueOS

The BlueROV2 is powered by the Navigator Flight Controller and BlueOS, providing advanced control and expandability. The Navigator features onboard sensors, including an IMU and magnetometer for orientation and compass readings, plus a leak sensor for water ingress alerts. With 16 outputs and multiple communication ports, it supports a wide range of accessories like thrusters, lights, and sonars, with ample room for future enhancements.

The ROV is paired with a Raspberry Pi 4, which runs the open-source BlueOS software. BlueOS controls vehicle functions, manages the camera and tether, and allows for easy software updates via the ArduSub platform.

Easy-to-Use Controls

On the surface, the ROV is controlled via a laptop and gamepad. The open-source QGroundControl app provides a live video feed, sensor data, and settings configuration for seamless operation.
