Blueye Robotics

Blueye Robotics makes underwater ROVs (remotely operated underwater drones) in the X1, X3 Ultra and X7 models, with a tether and surface unit, a controller and app, and the Blueye Cloud. The company says it designs and manufactures the drones in Norway.

Its customers are professional operators in aquaculture, defence, marine research and underwater inspection, and the website names a coast guard and the Netherlands Royal Navy among them. The company sells its ROV systems, payloads and accessories to these customers; the sources do not describe other revenue streams.

The website states that the team has 20 members and that it has clients in more than 40 countries. The company lists one open position, "Join the Blueye Robotics Team", based in Trondheim.
