Bryan Lawless

Bryan Lawless made his first AUV back in 2001 - when there were only a small handful of companies and universities even thinking about underwater robotics! With a degree in Industrial Electronics, Bryan started BlueWave Robotics in 2008 with two goals - to make the world a safer place using robots, and to explore the ocean using robots. In 2025, Bryan applies the BlueWave Robotics motto "Some Jobs Were Meant for Robots" to his focus on consulting, training, and payload integration for undersea robotics. BlueWave Robotics' Mission is to keep humans out of harm’s way by applying cutting edge robotics to hazardous subsea environments, along with the air and land domains. Bryan works closely with customers around the world by helping them determine the best technology for their applications, or by training their valuable workforce to use innovative subsea robotics.
