Blue Ocean Robotics
"We Create and Commercialize Robots"
Danish robot venture factory founded in 2013 in Odense; develops and commercializes professional service robots through dedicated spin-off subsidiaries.
Blue Ocean Robotics is a Danish robotics company headquartered in Odense, Denmark, founded in 2013 by Claus Risager and John Erland Ostergaard. The company operates as a self-described Robot Venture Factory, a model in which it develops service robots internally and spins them out into dedicated commercial subsidiaries rather than selling all products under one brand.
Odense has historically been a center of robotics in Europe, with deep ties to the University of Southern Denmark and Universal Robots, and Blue Ocean Robotics is a prominent product of that ecosystem. The company bridges academic research and commercial market deployment, working with university researchers and then taking products to market through autonomous brand entities.
The primary product brands under Blue Ocean Robotics include UVD Robots, GoBe Robots, and PTR Robots. UVD Robots produces autonomous mobile disinfection robots that use UV-C light to eliminate pathogens. The UVD Robot Pharma variant is specifically engineered for pharmaceutical cleanroom environments and is marketed as the first fully autonomous UV-C disinfection robot designed for cleanroom compliance. These robots have been deployed in hospitals, clinics, and pharmaceutical facilities across Europe and beyond, including orders placed by the European Commission.
GoBe Robots are telepresence platforms equipped with a 21.5-inch HD touchscreen and up to 8 hours of battery operation. They are designed to enable remote presence for business meetings, education, and healthcare consultations, with a carbon footprint reduction angle by substituting travel.
PTR Robots focuses on patient transfer and rehabilitation. Its mobile robotic lift assists healthcare workers in moving and rehabilitating patients, aiming to reduce work-related injuries among nursing staff while improving patient mobility outcomes.
Blue Ocean Robotics has received investment including a 45 million euro funding round. In March 2025, 3C Groups, a Danish holding company owned by businessman Niels Thorborg, became the majority owner, providing fresh capital to support commercial expansion.
