Blue Robotics

Blue Robotics makes low-cost, high-performance components for marine robotics to enable the next generation of ocean exploration! Based in Torrance, CA, we are a young and innovative company with a diverse and international customer base.

While researching components for the project, we realized that the limiting component was the thruster. We needed something that could resist saltwater, operate continuously, and be efficient for months on end. Scouring the internet for options, we found hobbyists, students, researchers, and marine robotics companies that were in need of an affordable thruster.

We set out to design a new thruster that would be affordable, reliable, and more capable than anything out there to enable these people and many more to explore the ocean. We came up with the T100 Thruster, launched in a 2014 Kickstarter campaign. Since then, they’ve become more popular than we ever could have imagined!
