We're really excited to announce a new ArduSub/Pixhawk controlled underwater underwater vehicle, the BlueROV2. The 6-thruster vectored configuration, coupled with strong static stability, provides a vehicle that is smooth and stable, yet highly maneuverable. The BlueROV2 provides the capabilities of a high-end mini-ROV at the price of the most basic commercial ROVs. It can reach depths of 100m and is highly expandable for new sensors, payloads, and capabilities.

We've spent the last six months working hard on ArduSub and contributing to QGroundControl to make the ArduPilot platform work well for subsea vehicles. It's come a long way in that time and we think it's got a bright future ahead.

The BlueROV2 comes as a partially-assembled kit (essentially ARF) and it can be completed in 4-8 hours. The setup is very straightforward and almost identical to ArduCopter!

  • Bravo! I have no use for one but still want it!

  • This is amazing. I'm totally on the same page as Gary - the price is unbelievable.

    Great job guys.

  • Amazing work guys,

    You have actually produced a full fledged commercial ROV for a price a decimal point or two or three or four less than the competition.

    That is no small feat.

    And it doesn't even need a hundred foot plus dedicated support ship.

    Best Regards,

    Gary

    Hi Rusty,

    An excellent and informative video for what appears to be an exceptional underwater ROV.

    The BlueROV2 is quite an evolution from your initial BlueROV.

    Keep up the good work!
