Deep-sea robot breakthrough allows freedom of movement in extreme pressures
According to CCTV News, a team from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics has successfully developed a small deep-sea robot that performs well in deep-sea environments such as the Mariana Trench and can swim, glide, crawl and perform other motion states. The research team uses innovative chiral bistable structures and shape memory alloy technology to enable the robot to operate efficiently in the 10,000-meter deep sea. After 6 years of research and development, this small robot is not only low-cost and highly adaptable, but is also expected to play an important role in deep-sea scientific research and resource development in the future. Researchers are promoting the combination of deep-sea flexible robots and AI to open up new space for deep-sea intelligent operations.
