At the Guangdong Intelligent Robotics Institute, a bright yellow underwater robot dazzles like a "subaquatic sprite." With its omnidirectional movement and AI detection mode, this agile bot is engineered to tackle complex underwater tasks.
Designed for precision, it can move vertically, horizontally, and even hover steadily in place for close-up observations. Operating at depths of up to 400 meters and covering a horizontal range of 1,000 meters, the robot paves the way for safer and more efficient underwater facility inspections.
Hu Gangyi, the general managing director of the company behind the robots, highlighted its groundbreaking capabilities: "Our underwater robot is built for tasks like underwater facility inspection and precision operations. It overcomes the depth, duration, and safety limitations of traditional manual underwater work, significantly improving both efficiency and operational security."
Moreover, Hu Gangyi emphasized how the robust industrial and financial ecosystem in the Greater Bay Area — featuring strong local manufacturing, an advanced supply chain, and access to ample investment — has accelerated this innovation. This blend of cutting-edge technology and dynamic local support is transforming how we explore the hidden underwater world. 🚀🌊
