Have you ever seen "clownfish" bigger than people? At the Shenyang Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (hereinafter referred to as the Shenyang Institute of Automation), there is such a "clownfish", which is 3.5 meters long, 1.5 meters high and 1.5 tons heavy. Its full name is "Qianlong 3" 4500-meter autonomous underwater robot, which was once popular because of the shape of "clownfish" Nimo. It is reported that there are four members of the "Qianlong" series of autonomous underwater robots family, which have successively carried out ocean voyages in the Pacific, Atlantic, Pacific and Pacific Ocean, making important contributions to China's independent exploration of deep-sea resource mining areas. Among them, "Qianlong 2" dived 59 times, ranking first among family members
The latest robot system can independently distinguish garbage from marine animals and plants
Liu Jian, chief designer of "Qianlong 2" and "Qianlong 3" and researcher of Shenyang Institute of Automation, introduced to China Science News: "Although the" Tibetan Dragon "series was born during the" 12th Five-Year Plan "and" 13th Five-Year Plan ", our team has carried out decades of exploration and research in the field of autonomous underwater robots, and finally realized the development of domestic deep-sea autonomous underwater robots from scratch, from catching up to keeping abreast."
