OpenROV was a marine robotics company focused on democratizing underwater exploration through the development of low cost Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) technology and an online community of citizen scientists and makers. OpenROV created a series of ROV kits as well as a ready-to-use ROV called Trident, both of which were launched on the crowdfunding platform, Kickstarter.[7][8] OpenROV was founded by David Lang and Eric Stackpole in 2011, and was based for most of its history in Berkeley, CA. In 2019, OpenROV merged with Spoondrift Technologies to create Sofar Ocean Technologies.
