China aimed to safe its place in the marine tools sector by introducing this know-how to potential clients in these areas, the official newspaper reported final Monday.
“By deepening cooperation in [these] offshore engineering markets, we will integrate Chinese intelligent cable detection solutions into the global ecosystem and bolster the international competitiveness of domestic marine equipment,” the report mentioned.
Developed by a crew at Dalian Jiaotong University, the robots can find cables buried underneath silt with a positioning error of lower than 5 per cent and additionally cowl uncovered strains with sediment for defense.
They can function across the clock at depths of up to 300 metres (984 toes) and preserve stability in turbulent ocean currents.
“We gave a robot two complementary eyes,” Chen Shaohua, a professor at Dalian Jiaotong’s faculty of railway clever engineering, advised Science and Technology Daily.
