Talking about the key technology and development direction of underwater manipulator

Abstract

The ocean in the 20th century is a hot and emerging research field. Whether it is fishing for marine fisheries, the exploration and development of marine resources, or the collection of underwater specimens in the direction of marine science, it needs to be carried out underwater. For now, the underwater manipulator or robotic arm is a kind of underwater operation tool we usually use. It relies on the underwater robot and cooperates with the underwater robot to complete a series of flexible actions to achieve underwater operations. purpose. Obviously, the underwater manipulator is the main part of the underwater robot, and most of the functions of the underwater robot are realized by the underwater manipulator. Due to its diversified functions, underwater manipulators also have a variety of design requirements. There are also key technologies such as motion control in the design process and some technologies are still stagnant. Based on the current situation, this article introduces the key technology and development direction of underwater manipulator research for reference.
