Chaoyong AI Reviews Top 10 Underwater Robotics Companies, Analyzes Who Could Be the 'Unitree of Underwater'

Chaoyong AI reviewed ten underwater robotics companies, covering three lines: work-class complete systems, consumer products, and core underwater equipment. Shihang Intelligence secured over 1 billion yuan in orders in the first half of 2026 and completed a Series A round of over 1 billion yuan; Shandong Future Robot reported 2024 revenue of 276 million yuan and net profit of 97.18 million yuan; and Shenzhilan's STAR Market IPO has entered the inquiry stage. The original article noted that three hurdles stand between orders and revenue: delivery acceptance, sea trials, and payment collection. The sector does not lack money; what it lacks is a track record of turning orders into revenue.
