Recently, a small deep-sea multimodal robot jointly developed by Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the Institute of Deep Sea, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Zhejiang University was successfully published in the international academic top journal "Science and Robot". This robot is of milestone significance in the field of marine exploration and scientific research, especially in deep-sea environments.
This deep-sea robot is less than 50 cm long and weighs only 1500 grams. It is amazing that it can perform multimodal motion on the seabed that is deep into 10,000 meters. This means it not only can swim, but also glide and crawl, demonstrating excellent adaptability. In extreme environments like the deep sea, traditional robots often encounter various difficulties, but this new robot has excellent performance, which has excited the scientific research team.
After six years of hard work, the scientific research team finally promoted this innovative achievement to the international academic community. They said that this deep-sea robot will not only be limited to exploring the mysteries of the ocean, but will also be combined with artificial intelligence in the future to promote the development of deep-sea flexible robots. This research not only provides new tools for deep-sea exploration, but will also bring new perspectives and possibilities to future marine scientific research.
With the continuous advancement of technology, deep-sea exploration is gradually becoming a field full of opportunities and challenges. The multimodal motion ability demonstrated by this robot indicates that future research in the marine field will be more in-depth and diversified. The team is actively exploring the application of robots in different deep-sea environments, including monitoring of marine ecosystems and the development and utilization of deep-sea resources.
In this process, deep-sea robots are not only the "detector" of scientists, but will also become an important assistant to future marine scientific research, helping mankind better understand and protect the marine environment on which we rely on.
