VVLAI reaches 2000 meters deep with its self-developed equipment in a successful first deep-water mission

On October 27, the “Hanze” construction vessel deployed the fully domestically produced “Shandong Future VY150” deep-sea heavy-duty work robot, with a 100% domestic production and matching rate for its core components. After successfully completing a deep dive in the 2000-meter depth zone southeast of Nanshan Port, the robot was successfully recovered. This mission made full use of the deep-sea environment in the South China Sea to validate the equipment’s performance, enhancing its quality and reliability. It serves as a real-world test for Shandong Future Robotics’ deep-sea equipment.

The “Shandong Future VY150” deep-sea heavy-duty work robot successfully reached a depth of 2021.4 meters, making contact with the seafloor. It used its mechanical arm to deploy the “Future Robotics - Future Offshore Engineering 2000m” marker to celebrate the success of the deep dive. It is reported that the “Shandong Future VY150” will continue deep-sea operations in this region and is scheduled to complete missions down to 3500 meters.

The 3500-meter deep-sea heavy-duty work robot will operate at extreme depths, marking a breakthrough in high-pressure resistance, navigation, power transmission, communication, and multi-equipment smart collaboration technologies for deep-sea robots.

Developing deep-sea equipment requires significant investment and long development cycles, with critical technologies often being a bottleneck. However, Shandong Future Robotics has, through relentless effort, independently developed multiple deep-sea equipment systems, filling gaps in the domestic market. The company now leads in the domestic private sector, with a market share of 60% in deep-sea work robots.
