中国発、深海6000mを制する「水中ロボット」　海底建設の人手不足を解消へ

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://36kr.jp/458487/

<p>中国の水中ロボットメーカー「山東未来機器人（Shandong Future Robot）」はこのほど、シリーズBで数億元（数十億～百数十億円）を調達した。出資者は建元基金や中芯聚源など。今回調達した資金は、主に生産能力の拡充やグローバル市場の開拓などに充てられる。</p>
<p>海洋エンジニアリング分野では長年にわたり、従来の有人潜水士による作業はコストが高く、安全リスクも大きい上、作業可能な水深にも限界があった。海洋資源の開発や海底インフラ整備の需要が拡大する中、作業用ROV（遠隔操作型水中ロボット）は人手に代わる重要な装備として普及。海底での工事や点検、保守など幅広い用途で活用が進んでいる。</p>
<p>2005年設立の未来機器人は、当初は浅い海域での作業ロボットの研究開発・製造に注力していた。15年の社名変更を機に、戦略の重点を深海向け設備分野へと移し、主要部品や制御システムから完成機の設計に至るまで、全工程を自社で担う研究開発体制を段階的に構築してきた。現在では、作業用ROVのほか、深海トレンチャー（海底溝掘削装置）、深海採鉱ロボット、海底建設装備など、多様な製品を展開している。中でも自社開発の深海ロボットは最大潜航深度6000メートルに達し、海底での高精度作業や重切断、地質サンプリングなどの複雑な任務を遂行できる。技術水準は既に国際的な主要メーカーと肩を並べる水準に達している。</p>

<p></p>
<p>同社の製品は現在、世界数十の国と地域に輸出されており、海底ケーブルの敷設や保守、洋上風力発電の建設、深海エンジニアリングなどで幅広く採用されている。世界的に深海開発活動が活発化する中、同社が展開する高付加価値の水中向け設備事業はさらなる成長が見込まれる。</p>

Deep-Sea Divers Capture Rare Footage of a Giant Phantom Jellyfish https://petapixel.com/2026/01/08/deep-sea-divers-capture-rare-footage-of-a-giant-phantom-jellyfish/ #schmidtoceaninstitute #underwaterfootage #jellyfish #News #rov

Lots of stuff in the latest @rpimag my bits are an article on getting started adding hardware to the #PicoCalc as well as the first of two parts tinkering on a larger underwater vehicle! #rov As an unexpected bonus the mighty Rob Miles has written an article about writing @FreeCAD macros with #python. As a shameless act of self preservation.. do consider a subscription (excellent Xmas gift) as it helps keep us writers employed!

En un mundo con sentido, #Argentina, #Brasil, #Chile y #Uruguay tendrían su propio barco #SchmidtOcean con un #ROV para explorar sus mares y océanos de forma conjunta, pero... no por nada el mundo va camino a una #Idiocracia a pasos agigantados...

Just submitted part one of two of a larger budget underwater rover build to @rpimag Seems a good time to also say that issue 157 with the #opensource TOUV palm sized #rov project is now available as a free download! https://magazine.raspberrypi.com/issues/157

Offshore Autonomous Underwater Vehicle and Remotely Operated Vehicle Market 2025

Offshore autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) market to reach $5.97 billion by 2029 at 12.5% CAGR, driven by rising offshore oil and gas exploration.

But an #ROV at 6000 meters below the ocean surface is far from a typical LAN application. (d a m)

Violent testing of a thruster for the larger underwater #ROV project... deffo some speed control needed, possibly redesign the prop with a lower pitch!

Been designing a few more parts for the larger underwater #rov today. Also took this picture showing the small #TOUV rov I made (in this months @rpimag ) in comparison to the new larger one! #submersible #FreeCADFriday Happy weekend everyone!

The super small, almost palm sized TOUV underwater ROV sat next to a chassis for a much larger underwater project! The larger chassis is made from a collection of PVC pipes and has some orange, designed in FreeCAD, mount parts attached.

So I'm working on a larger underwater #ROV project. This morning a little job was to design a clamp to clamp some larger floatation tube sections to the smaller tubular chassis sections. Perfect little job for #FreeCAD and #3Dprinting.

A larger white pipe is clamped to a smaller dark grey pipe with an orange 3d printed clamp section.

Just blogged about this fabulous #rp2350 #opensource controller system that @steamengineers built in response to my little Tiny Opensource Underwater Vehicle (TOUV) project. It's amazing when people get excited about stuff you make, and then respond by making something excellent that makes the whole project better! The little palm sized TOUV submarine is featured in this months @rpimag issue ICYMI. #underwater #rov #madewithfreecad #kicad

The fantastic controller from Steam Engineers, the LCD display has a gui showing the thruster power levels and other small animated features. The controller has 2 large 3D printed joystick covers.

This #FreeCADFriday I wanted to show off this assembly I made. It's a #Seaperch underwater #ROV chassis. The Seaperch design is regularly used in education/academic underwater challenges and I wanted to be able to model custom bits to the (made from PVC) tube frame. I only had to model 3 parts (including a parametric tube) so I could then use the newer Assembly workbench to put this all together. #CAD #STEM #STEAM

Screenshot of some assembly instructions for a Seaperch utility main frame.

Ah, sadness: the one time I actually need it (surveying boat keels for an upcoming co-op purchase), my chasing dory underwater drone seems to have fully died. I plugged it in to charge and it does not accept the charge - seems to be fully dead. I got a few good uses out of it, but alas, I don't know if I can repair it.
