Artificial intelligence (AI) in underwater robots: Capable of conducting inspections 60% faster than human divers, with an accuracy rate exceeding 95%. The Southern + Southern Plus selection channel has released a new report on the underwater robot industry, highlighting advancements that promise to significantly enhance efficiency and safety in aquatic environments.
In recent years, underwater robots, often referred to as “doctors” of the sea, have increasingly been employed in various marine engineering projects. These robots operate autonomously, equipped with sophisticated sensors and advanced imaging technology, allowing them to detect and assess underwater structures with remarkable precision.
By November 2025, a project led by Guangxi University, in collaboration with several engineering colleges and construction project inspection centers, aims to further develop these AI-driven underwater inspection robots. The initial results from the project revealed that these robots can complete inspections in less than 60% of the time it takes a human diver, with a success rate of over 95%.
The underwater robots utilize advanced algorithms to analyze data, identify anomalies, and generate comprehensive inspection reports. They are already in use for over 80 different projects, including infrastructure assessments, safety inspections, and environmental monitoring.
These robots are designed to adapt to varying underwater conditions, maintaining stability even in challenging environments such as fast currents or deep waters. Their ability to operate in extreme conditions makes them invaluable for ensuring the safety and integrity of underwater structures.
Moreover, the integration of AI technology allows for continuous learning and improvement in inspection techniques, further enhancing the robots’ capabilities. As these technologies continue to evolve, it is expected that the efficiency and accuracy of underwater inspections will reach new heights.
In summary, the advancements in underwater robotics signify a transformative shift in how marine inspections are conducted, paving the way for safer and more effective monitoring of underwater environments.
