About

Liquid Robotics grew out of a 2003 effort by its founders to record humpback whale songs autonomously off Hawai‘i. After a 2006 proof of concept of a surface float with subsurface wings, the company was established in Hawai‘i in 2007 and released the first Wave Glider, SV2, in 2008. Wave Glider SV3 followed in 2013, the year the company recorded a Guinness World Record for the longest distance travelled by an unmanned autonomous surface vehicle.

In 2016 Liquid Robotics became a wholly owned subsidiary of The Boeing Company. Headquarters and production moved from Sunnyvale, California (2011) to Herndon, Virginia (2022) and, per the company, to Jessup, Maryland in 2026. Its primary locations are the Maryland headquarters and the Hawai‘i Marine Operations Center.
