What are the main types of underwater robots?

At present, the mainstream underwater robot system can be divided into consumption level, industrial level, military-industrial level three categories.

◆Consumer-grade Rov

Consumer Rov can be divided into entertainment and education. The main product forms of entertainment are underwater thrusters and underwater shooting robots. Propulsion structure is relatively simple, including thruster housing, battery, control device, drive motor, transmission, propeller and buoyancy device. By holding the thruster to control the activities in the water, adjusting the speed of the thruster to get different degrees of help to improve the speed of the parade, the thruster can not only use the water to assist the beginner slearn to swim, but also can bring swimmers into the underwater 30 m deep world to assist divers to carry out sightseeing, adventure and other activities.

◆Industrial-grade underwater robots

Due to the different demands of various industries, there are many kinds of industrial underwater vehicle products. Generally speaking, the special equipment for inspection and maintenance such as mechanical arm, sound, light, electricity and so on are installed on the basis of the propulsion system and filming system. According to the different industries, the integration schemes for equipment installation will be different and the technical requirements are high. At this stage, the most intuitive way to judge the performance requirements is to look at the size of the body, the larger the body, indicating that its performance is higher, the higher the technical requirements.

◆Military-grade underwater robots

The significant difference between military-grade Rov due to the demand of national strategic technology reserves lies in the high cost, technical difficulty and long research and development cycle. Military-grade underwater vehicles make various challenges and breakthroughs to their limits, focusing on reconnaissance, monitoring, detection and destruction of mines, anti-submarine warfare and other aspects, and make requirements for biomimetic capability. Some projects in China have achieved the capability that radar can not explore.
