On board the Zhong Shan Da Xue, Aug. 24 (Xinhua) — China's self-developed deep-sea remotely operated vehicle Haiqin, with a working depth of up to 6,000 meters, has successfully completed a research voyage in the South China Sea, scientists told Xinhua.
On Saturday morning, the electric deep-sea vehicle Haiqin, developed and built by Shanghai Jiaotong University, reached a depth of 4,140 meters during a sea test.
Equipped with high-definition cameras, robotic arms, sonar and sensors, the craft demonstrated capabilities such as automatic course holding and precise hovering.
The 3.6-tonne vehicle successfully collected deep-sea biological and sediment samples, which were delivered to the auxiliary research vessel Zhong Shan Da Xue.
During this voyage, a full-scale autonomous and remotely operated vehicle called Haidou-1 was also deployed for scientific research. This is the first time that two different unmanned deep-sea vehicles have conducted coordinated scientific research with the support of a single Chinese research vessel. -0-
