What is the development course of underwater robot?

In recent years, underwater robot products have begun to emerge with the rapid development of the robot market and the development of marine economy. The unmanned remote-controlled submersible is a robot used for underwater extreme operations, which provides great help for humans to explore the underwater world.

The prototype of an early underwater robot was a submersible. In 1953, the first unmanned remote-controlled submersible was launched. With the development of marine industry, unmanned remote-controlled submersibles have been paid more and more attention. 1975-1985 was a time of great development of remote-controlled submersibles. The development of offshore oil and gas has promoted the study on the theory and application of submersibles, the number and variety of submersibles have increased significantly. The robot is a kind of underwater submarine with intelligent function, According to their degree of intelligence and use requirements, it can be divided into four categories: HOV(HumanOccupied Vehicle) , AUV(Au-tonomous Underwater Vehicle) , ROV(Remotely Operated Vehicle) and TUV(Towing Underwater Vehi-cle) ,HOV is also known as a manned underwater submersible. It is operated by divers under water. such as our country's Dragon submersible; AUV is also known as cableless underwater robot, which can realize intelligent autonomous navigation; Both ROVs and TUV are cable-carrying robots. It is manually controlled by the mother ship.

Compared with the deep-sea large submersible, shallow sea small ROV has the advantages of small size, light weight, flexible use and price economy. With the exploitation and utilization of the ocean by mankind, ROV plays an increasingly important role in the study of marine exploration. It is widely used in marine environment observation, submarine pipeline detection, underwater target detection, marine engineering monitoring and underwater archaeology.

The sea area under the jurisdiction of China can reach 3 million square kilometers, which is equivalent to one-third of China's land area. it can be said that China is used for considerable marine resources. In addition, China's coastline is 18,000 kilometers, covering 10 provinces, including Taiwan, which provides a broad space for the development of the underwater robot industry.
