Safety, Technology, Modular, Intelligent, viability
Production Technology
The material is made of high-strength composite materials, and the application of carbon fiber and titanium alloy improves the pressure resistance and lightweight performance of the submersible. The appearance adopts the streamlined design of a killer whale to better adapt to the special environment of the seabed.
Design Challenge
During the product design process, it was difficult to innovate its structure. Finally, we got inspiration from the shape and structure of killer whales and innovated in structure and function.
Project Duration
The project starts at Qingdao University of Technology in August 2023 and ends at Qingdao University of Technology in November 2024.
Operation Flow
The Pioneer research submarine is designed to improve the efficiency and safety of undersea research missions. The advanced survival support system ensures the safety and comfort of the crew during long-term submersibles. Equipped with an unmanned pilot, long-distance wireless remote control, and complex operation assistance, it improves work efficiency while ensuring safety. With a modular design, the unmanned pilot can be equipped with different operating modules and thrusters according to different conditions and scenarios to better assist operations.
Research
Through modular design and bionic design, this product has new innovations in appearance and structure. In addition to the basic common modes, it also adds the ability to quickly match various complex terrains, feed back data information to the main body in real time, and intelligently survey the terrain. , cruise scout and other functions.
Inspiration
As global research on deep-sea resources, ecology, and environment continues to deepen, existing submersibles are insufficient in depth, flexibility, and versatility. This submarine is inspired by the streamlined appearance of killer whales and their rational biological structure. New submersibles with high performance, intelligence and multi-function can adapt to various extreme underwater environments and realize comprehensive exploration and scientific research of the deep sea.
