在深海海域，一台台深海机器人正在极端的环境下有条不紊地进行着海底巡检工作。除了巡检外，深海 采矿、深海生物探测等工作也能经机器人之手更安全、精准、高效地完成……这一幕幕原本出现在科幻 电影中的场景正逐步走进现实。 地球表面约71%被海洋覆盖，这片"蓝色宝库"蕴藏着不可估量的生物、能源、矿产等资源。如何通过深 海机器人突破桎梏，进一步释放海洋生产力是目前全球热议的课题。 在这场深海装备竞速赛中，我国深海机器人产业处于何种位置？在这场面向未来的海洋竞争中，国内企 业又如何实现突围与创新？近日，《证券日报》记者沿着深海机器人产业链调研采访，探寻"中国造"背 后的科技力量。 自主创新破解发展瓶颈 深海环境极端——高压、低温、无光、强腐蚀，是人类活动的"禁区"，深海机器人由此成为助力海洋经 济发展、释放海洋生产力的重要工具，也成为各国科研竞相角逐的关键赛道。 面对这片蓝海，国内产业曾在很长一段时间内处于空白。 从整机产品来看，万创投研董事总经理张震告诉《证券日报》记者，以主要用于1500米深海铺缆的机器 人ROV为例，截至2024年底，我国存量ROV的数量在一百台左右，基本全部依赖进口。对于海底光电 缆埋设等核心环节来 ...
