Summary
A 4,500-meter-class underwater robot built within China departed from Weihai Port, Shandong Province, to perform scientific research in the South China Sea alongside the Harbin Institute of Technology Weihai branch. Featuring a seven-axis hydraulic arm, the machine is intended for operations including mineral prospecting, pipeline monitoring, oil and gas extraction, sample collection, and rescue missions. The mission seeks to evaluate the device's functionality in actual environments, refine the verification process for deep-sea technology, and bolster the nation's goals regarding marine strength and resource protection.
