Getting Started

OpenROV is a Do It Yourself telerobotics community centered around underwater exploration and education. We have developed a low-cost telerobotic submarine that can be built with mostly off-the-shelf parts.

The goal of OpenROV is to democratize exploration by allowing anyone to explore and study underwater environments.

The OpenROV community is also laying the foundation for globally-connected citizen scientists to share their data and findings. Questions or suggestions? Feel free to email us at [mailto:Info@OpenROV.com Info@OpenROV.com].
