China's autonomous underwater vehicle, which explored 4500 autonomous underwater vehicles, has made its first trip to the Arctic. From the appearance, it looks like a big yellow croaker and is very cute and cool, but it has excellent performance and powerful function. It is an important helper of Chinese research and development focusing on polar scientific research.
The Discovery 4500 underwater robot is an autonomous underwater robot developed under the auspices of the Shenyang Institute of Automation, China. It has unique shape and high ability. Compared with ordinary underwater robots, it has stronger autonomous ability. For example, compared with the remote control mode robot, the Discovery 4500 is mainly controlled by electronic means, without cables and other additional facilities. At the same time, as a high-quality intelligent product, it does not need redundant human intervention, It can realize autonomous navigation and detection, so the working space and scope are larger and can play more roles.
From the perspective of working environment, the Arctic region has a relatively high dimension and a very bad environment. Under this background factor, the layout and recovery of underwater robots are both problems. Even due to the limitation of the ice layer, the communication between the mother ship and the underwater robot may be blocked, which further hinders the normal progress of scientific research. Therefore, there are higher requirements for the performance and autonomous working ability of underwater robots, For example, the Exploration 4500 underwater robot can accurately receive the instructions of the mother ship and adjust its status independently. It can actively avoid obstacles during the recovery process, and then close to the mother ship, so as to realize automatic and safe recovery.
In this regard, the exploration 4500 has performed very well, because the scientific research team has fully considered the Arctic environment at the beginning of its design, so it has innovatively developed an underwater recovery technology that integrates acoustic remote control and automatic guidance. At the same time, it has also added an emergency beacon, which can also accurately locate the exploration 4500 lines under the condition of thick ice layer and the location that the scientific research team cannot see with the naked eye, So as to recover, but the most important thing is its flexibility and intelligence, which endows it with the ability to judge its own working status. For example, when the indicator data is normal, the exploration 4500 will always work, and when the indicator data drops, it will actively transmit information to the mother ship, and then cooperate with the start of the recovery plan.
Exploring the excellence of 4500 has provided great convenience for the Chinese scientific research team to carry out the Arctic scientific research work, but how much do you know about the practical significance of this work? As one of the few places in the world that human beings have not fully understood, the South Pole and the North Pole are of great scientific research value, because there may be abundant biological samples in the underground ice layer, as well as a good carrier for recording the state of the past climate and environment. By studying the chemical and biological characteristics of the polar region, we can extract the evolution laws of the climate and environment in the past hundreds of years, even tens of thousands of years, It is of great significance to deduce the trend of future climate change and enhance human emergency response capacity.
It is for these reasons that all countries have launched research and sent scientific research ships to the two polar regions. For China, on the one hand, as a responsible global power, it is necessary to contribute to the development of human destiny. On the other hand, as the last pure land with the least track of human activities, the two polar regions, whether there is any greater development value, which contains rich energy resources, etc, It is a puzzle that all mankind is curious about. As a major power in the world, China needs to work with other countries to help mankind find out the answer.
