“Underwater DJI” is heading for IPO, is the first underwater robot stock coming?

First, the national strategic opportunity period has arrived. The 19th CPC National Congress clearly proposed "building a strong maritime nation" and made the protection of offshore rights and interests an important direction for national defense and military construction, which has led to an unprecedented increase in the demand for underwater equipment. At the same time, national development strategies such as "Made in China 2025" point out that China will vigorously promote the development of high-tech equipment such as intelligent robots and actively encourage domestic brands to innovate independently, which will also promote the progress and breakthrough of more core technologies.

Second, there is a huge market space brought by the sustainable development of the marine economy. With the continuous development and utilization of the ocean by humans in terms of energy and resources, the gross domestic product of the ocean continues to increase, and the market demand for underwater robots as important marine equipment is also steadily expanding.

Third, the consumer market is rising rapidly. In recent years, experiential diving and underwater photography are becoming a fashion trend. This has also spawned innovative models such as DeepBlue that popularize underwater robots to ordinary consumers. It can be foreseen that consumer-grade underwater equipment based on intelligent technology is bound to become a huge blue ocean market.

With the east wind blowing, the current moment has become a critical moment for underwater robots to move towards large-scale application and industrialization. Technological innovation and business model innovation will go hand in hand, which will promote the radiation of traditional professional fields to the mass market and bring new growth topics for underwater robots.

05 The vast blue ocean, the unlimited potential of underwater robots

Look back at the past to open up the unknown; look forward to the future to expand your imagination.

For underwater robots, there is no end to technological development and the potential of the ocean is unimaginable.

From the perspective of intelligent development, underwater robots will evolve towards higher intelligence in the future and achieve true autonomous working capabilities, which requires continuous upgrading of algorithms and sensor technologies to adapt to more complex environments and make more flexible decisions. Technologies such as multi-machine collaboration and robot cloud platforms are also becoming research and development hotspots.

The sea area above 6,000 meters is rich in resources and is the last frontier for underwater robots. The harsh conditions such as ultra-long flight time and ultra-high pressure that may appear at that time will pose a huge challenge to underwater robots. The emergence of deep-sea underwater robots in the future will greatly promote human cognition of the ocean.

In addition, the integrated application of underwater robots and aerial drones is also becoming a new exploration direction. The emergence of amphibious water and air robots will further broaden the application scope and scenarios of underwater robots.

It can be foreseen that with the continuous upgrading of technology and materials, underwater robots will surely complete the historical leap from wired to wireless, from remote control to autonomy, and from shallow sea to deep sea, opening a new chapter of application.
