Abstract

As an important tool for ocean exploration and development, underwater robotics is more efficient, safer, and more reliable than human labor. In recent years, the development of marine resources has played an important role in various fields. However, the development of underwater robots is limited by the complexity of the underwater environment, the lack of endurance, and the fact that efficient communication technology and autonomous cruise technology still need to be developed. This paper adopts the methods of literature review and case study analysis to overview the underwater robotics research background and significance, the classification of underwater robotics technology, the status and research progress, and the main application results of underwater robotics, and analyze the future technical challenges facing this technology, and finally, to look forward to the future development trend. Underwater robots can perform high-risk or other tasks that are difficult for humans to perform directly, greatly expanding human cognition and ability to use the oceans.
