The emergence of multi-rotor drones made Dajiang a master of airborne aerial photography, and later generations had to find another way in the industry. The ocean, perhaps a new foothold outside the sky.
According to media reports, the market size of China's unmanned submersibles will reach 80 billion yuan by 2020, including 30 billion yuan for military unmanned submersible vehicles and 43 billion yuan for civilian use. In the field of the industry, it is also said that there is 6 billion market space. Underwater robots will gradually emerge in high-risk, complex and manpower-inaccessible areas. Industry applications can be found in underwater scientific research, ship bottom testing, fish farming, water quality monitoring, etc. At the consumer level, they can travel to (individual) Undersea shooting or smart equipment.
When everyone is waiting for the new blue ocean mentality in the underwater drone industry, Xiong Minglei, the founder of ROBOSEA from Beijing underwater intelligent robot company, gave the global network drone (WeChat id:huanqiuuav1) a cool shot. Agent, "It takes time for the underwater drone market to break out."

Xiong Minglei, a Ph.D. student who grew up under Boyata, studied underwater robots with his mentor more than a decade ago. He said that entering the field is purely because of a word-difficult. But the harder it is, the more exciting it is for Xiong Minglei's challenge. Underwater robots have difficulties from the technology itself. Compared with terrestrial robots, because of the medium of water, the robots on the seabed cannot make sharp turns and emergency stops, and the inertia is very large. In terms of communication, there are mature GPS technologies or laser radar technologies on land, and these are not used under water.
"These technical thresholds will cause us to have a lot of blanks in the research. Even if the team has done this for more than a decade, it only solves some of the practical problems, and more is theoretical research." Xiong Minglei said frankly.
As the post-90s Xiong Minglei has both the hard-working impulse and the rationality of the industry observation. After two and a half years of business, ROBOSEA has accumulated nearly 100 million yuan of financing, and independently developed a variety of consumer and enterprise-level underwater robots, including water transportation, marine environmental protection, entertainment and other underwater robot products. . ROBOSEA also maintains its core technology advantages over other friends for nearly half a year in bionic power, underwater acoustic communication and hydroacoustic positioning. Take the example of the consumer-grade underwater bionic robot BIKI, which was launched last year. This product simulates the fins of the fins to carry out the downstream water, which is not only longer than the propeller-powered products of the same type, but also hardly affects the underwater. ecosystem.

In the above, Xiong Minglei mentioned that “the underwater drone market is still in need of timeâ€, and more is aimed at the current underwater drone entertainment (consumption) application market. If the underwater industry application market mainly relies on the technology itself and a set of system solutions that can solve the industry's pain points from product to service to after-sales, then the outbreak of the consumer market is more determined by the maturity of the industry chain. And the market cultivation of underwater consumer drones.
Because of this, Xiong Minglei said to the World Wide Web drone that ROBOSEA is more inclined to be a first-mover advantage and easy to quickly form high-barrier industry products. Through the accumulation of technology and sales in the industry market, it leads to product iteration and market promotion in the consumer market. This is in line with the rapid development of consumer products in the existing drone industry, and the development strategy of killing back to the industry after consumption is different.
Xiong Minglei believes that to be a consumer product, to achieve hundreds of thousands of sales must have a lot of conditions, whether it can be "one sword to seal the throat" depends on whether this product is everyone's need. The formation of the industrial chain contributes to the cost reduction, and it is difficult to enter the life of ordinary people without low prices. In terms of market cultivation, there are too few players. Only by relying on our family to drive or open up the underwater consumer-grade industry, the current enterprise scale can not afford the cost of market education.
According to Xiong Minglei, ROBOSEA will release a new consumer-grade product at CES ASIA in Shanghai this year. The product meets the requirements of swimming beginners and people with a wide body size, zero buoyancy, easy to use, the angle of the propeller is reduced, the water does not hit the face, the speed is adjustable, comfortable and safe.
In order to make consumer-grade underwater robots, Xiong Minglei also studied the reasons for the success of Dajiang. Now what ROBOSEA does is nothing more than looking at the world and seeing itself through a different medium (underwater) from another angle. In the consumer-grade field, if the underwater robot is compared with the aerial drone, then the current robot fish is like the era of the Dajiang Elf 2. At that time, Elf 2 was relatively small and professional, and the lens was GoPro. It was not integrated. Later, many aerial photographers put forward a lot of valuable opinions, and Dajiang seized the opportunity.
Nowadays, the underwater drone consumer market has not yet broken out. ROBOSEA also hopes to cultivate a group of users who have the insights to help them grow together and create demand. Perhaps at that time, Xiong Minglei and the team's previous accumulation and precipitation can only break out with the industry and step into the blue ocean.
