Highlight the strength of China's marine science and technology
At present, There are still many marine scientific and technological equipment in China that rely on imports, which restricts the exploration of deep-sea resources. Li Li said that talent and technology is a difficult point facing the industry, in order to work together with all walks of life to break through the bottleneck problem of industry development, Shanghai Aituto and Shanghai Jiaotong University, Zhejiang University, Harbin Engineering University, Shanghai Ocean University and other universities to accelerate the transformation and application of R & D achievements of scientific research institutes. Shanghai Aotuo also jointly set up an underwater robot application service center with upstream and downstream resources of the underwater robot industry, covering technical services, detection technology services, technical training, equipment support and cooperation platform, forming a complete industrial chain closed loop, and promoting the innovative development of underwater robots with application technology.
After accumulating certain industry service experience, Shanghai Aotuo has focused on people's livelihood services. "In recent years, due to the frequent occurrence of pollution and ground collapse caused by underground pipeline leakage, urban pipe network projects are directly related to people's daily lives." Li Li said that Shanghai Aotuo has officially become a member unit of the Urban Drainage Pipe Network Evaluation and Restoration Engineering Technology Research Center affiliated to the Shanghai Water Bureau, and has cooperated with Shanghai Urban Drainage Co., Ltd., Tongji University, Shanghai Institute of Building Research Co., Ltd., Anderson (Shanghai) New Materials and other units to escort urbanization construction and residents' lives.
Underwater robots are increasingly used in the field of emergency rescue, such as tunnel or embankment hidden danger investigation, water rescue, rescue and other work. In April 2021, Aotuo participated in the test test of advanced technology and equipment for rapid detection of hidden dangers and dangerous situations of embankments organized by the General Institute of Water Conservancy and Hydropower Planning and Design in Yongxiu, Jiangxi, under the guidance of the Department of Flood Prevention and Drought Control of the Ministry of Emergency Management, and organized the advanced technology and equipment test of rapid detection of embankment hidden dangers and dangerous situations, and in June, under the leadership of the National Flood Prevention and Drought Control General Headquarters, organized unmanned boats and a variety of testing equipment, and participated in the Heilongjiang Mohe Emergency Rescue and Support Project. For many rivers in Heilongjiang Mohe, assist in on-site investigation and logistics related support work.
In July 2021, Shanghai Aotuo received an emergency rescue mission from Zhuhai, that is, rushed to Zhuhai day and night to participate in the permeable search and rescue work of the Shijingshan Tunnel, and carried out underwater exploration operations in tunnels with extremely low visibility through underwater robots carrying sonar, providing important clues for the search and rescue work.
In the future, Aotuo underwater robots will not only sail into the deep sea, but also sail internationally. Especially with the impact of the "Belt and Road" initiative, this "blue channel" will bring more prosperous marine economies to China and countries along the way. In this regard, Li Li also said that the prospects of the international market are vast, Aotuo uses independent research and development equipment, combined with international cutting-edge underwater technology, has carried out a series of projects in Southeast Asia, hoping that China can make great strides in the field of marine science and technology to "go out" and let the world see China's marine strength.
