What are underwater robots used for?

In the case of the Hebei Maritime Safety Administration's Bohai Bay offshore oil spill monitoring and recovery case, the application effects of the underwater robot technology program brought direct and significant economic benefits:

Before the implementation of the project, conventional optical observations could not achieve all-weather real-time monitoring of marine conditions. The implementation of the underwater robot program can perform all-weather real-time monitoring of oil wells, transport vessels, floating oil on water, submerged oil in water, and underwater transportation pipelines in order to trace oil spills. Source and repair work provides the first-time data to minimize economic losses;

Conventional submersible oil monitoring and recovery technology is still in the initial application stage. Many methods have low technical content, time-consuming and labor-intensive, it cannot solve the needs of submersible oil detection under complex sea conditions. The implementation of the project can trace the source of leakage, repair damaged parts, use The vector catcher improves the efficiency of capturing submersible oil, recovers the submersible oil in real time, minimizes accident losses, ensures the safety of offshore oil production and transportation, it can save hundreds of millions of economic losses.

The "Offshore Oil Spill Monitoring and Submerged Oil Recovery" project is piloted by the Oil Spill Emergency Response Center of Hebei Maritime Safety Administration. It is applied to port oil pollution discharge monitoring and oil barrier skirt damage detection. The test results are accurate and reliable, and the data acquisition cycle is short, effectively improving The oil spill emergency response speed has been greatly reduced, and the time and economic costs have been greatly reduced. Good application effects have been achieved, and it has been unanimously recognized by the leaders of the Maritime Safety Administration. It is being promoted to coastal maritime units.

The intelligent cable-controlled unmanned submarine has the advantages of long underwater working time, strong operation capacity, and large load capacity. It is an ideal platform for completing oil absorption operations, it can develop underwater robot platforms of different heavyweights according to the distribution of submersible oil. This technology can provide long-term decision support for the monitoring, containment and cleanup of oil spills at sea in the case of unknown oil sources and sudden oil pollution accidents, in order to further improve the submersible oil monitoring program in accordance with the characteristics of my country's waters in practice.
