Deep Sea Pathfinder-Underwater Exploration Robot

By focusing on analyzing the fish in the ocean, it adopts the manta ray in the deep sea as the shape design from the production of the appearance curve.

What it does

Underwater robots can replace manual labor for long-term operations underwater in highly dangerous environments, polluted environments and zero-visibility waters.


Your inspiration

High-risk industries at sea often come with high risks due to the harsh working environment. Human beings working in such an environment not only threaten their lives, but also make it difficult to ensure their work efficiency


How it works

polluted environments and zero-visibility waters. Underwater robots are generally equipped with sonar systems, cameras, lights, robotic arms and other devices, which can provide real-time video, sonar images.


Design process

Bud bursting stage, developing stage, mature stage, frontier exploration, challenge and future direction


How it is different

The design of this product adopts biomimetic design. By focusing on analyzing the fish in the ocean, it adopts the manta ray in the deep sea as the shape design from the production of the appearance curve. The shape is symmetrical streamlined, and the wings on both sides are arc-shaped.


Future plans

Existing bottlenecks: Energy: Deep-sea fuel cells cost up to $50,000 / unit. Communication: Acoustic lag still limits real time control (1km lag about 0.67s). - Next generation technology: Quantum communication (Chinese Academy of Sciences 2025 experiment on underwater quantum key distribution). Biodegradable materials (MIT develops 30-day degradable drive components).
