[In-house News] With the vigorous development of the global marine economy, marine robotics has become the core engine driving a trillion-dollar blue ocean market. Recently, the "Zhejiang Marine Robotics 'Scenario Demand & Product Technology' Matching and Exchange Activity" was grandly held in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. ASY (Ai Shang Yun Electronics) attended the event as a key industry participant, gathering with industry experts, research institutions, and leading enterprises to discuss cutting-edge technology paths and diversified application scenarios for marine robots.

The exchange conference focused heavily on technological breakthroughs and future market demands for marine robotics. The conference highlighted that the convergence of China's "Three Dragons" deep-sea submersibles is leading a leapfrog development in the nation's marine robotics sector, accelerating the march into the deep sea. This landmark event not only demonstrates the country's core strength in deep-sea science and technology but also opens up vast collaborative opportunities and growth potential for enterprises like ASY.

Deep Dive into the Four Core Types of Marine Robots

During the product and technology exchange session, delegates engaged in comprehensive discussions regarding the four core categories of marine robots driving industry innovation:

• Human Occupied Vehicles (HOV): As critical devices capable of carrying personnel deep underwater, HOVs play an irreplaceable role in high-difficulty missions such as deep-sea scientific research, seabed resource exploration, marine development, underwater salvage, and emergency rescue operations.
• Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV): Connected to the mother ship via an umbilical cable, ROVs are operated remotely by surface personnel. Their highly precise control capabilities and real-time data feedback advantages make them widely utilized in complex scenarios like offshore oil and gas exploitation, underwater facility maintenance, and search and rescue missions.
• Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV): Relying entirely on pre-set instructions for autonomous decision-making and mission execution, AUVs excel in long-duration, wide-area detection. They primarily serve marine scientific research, environmental monitoring, and high-resolution seafloor topographic mapping.
• Autonomous Remote Vehicles (ARV): Positioned as a major focus for future development, ARVs dynamically merge the advantages of both AUVs and ROVs. Equipped with onboard energy sources and utilizing micro-fiber cables for ultra-high-speed real-time data transmission, ARVs can perform broad-scale autonomous surveys as well as localized, high-precision observation and light-duty underwater operations.

ASY Empowers Deep-Sea Communications with Innovative Solutions

In response to the increasingly sophisticated demands of marine scenarios, ASY (Ai Shang Yun Electronics) demonstrated its core technical prowess at the exhibition. Facing the harsh and complex industrial communication scenarios required by underwater robotics, ASY showcased its advanced Broadband Power Line Carrier (PLC) technology solutions.

This technology utilizes existing power lines as the medium to achieve high-speed data communication, providing a highly reliable and robust communication link suited for harsh industrial environments. It can be widely integrated into underwater robots, underwater work machinery, real-time video transmission for deep-sea aquaculture monitoring, oilfield well logging signal transmission, and wind turbine status monitoring, effectively bridging the data gap between surface controllers and deep-sea devices.

Industry experts noted that as a major province for the marine economy, Zhejiang's hosting of this exchange activity will further break down barriers between industry, academia, research, and application. The proactive participation and technological contributions of companies like ASY will accelerate the transition of marine robotics from laboratories to the deep blue sea, jointly welcoming the full explosion of the trillion-dollar marine technology market.
