Weilan Deep Sea enters embodied AI deployment through underwater operations and maintenance tasks
1 reports · 1 sources
Zhang Dayu, founder and CEO of Weilan Deep Sea, said the company has chosen to enter underwater embodied AI through specific tasks such as underwater structure inspection, cleaning, and patrol inspection, and believes that underwater operation costs account for 20% to 25% of infrastructure value, so a robot only needs to reliably complete one or two capabilities to change the customer's cost structure. Zhang Dayu said the current stage is similar to autonomous driving's development from L2 to L3; the company hopes to first embed itself into existing production systems in an L2-to-L3 manner, accumulate data, and increase customer trust, then gradually raise the level of autonomy. Over the past 9 months, Weilan Deep Sea has completed 5 rounds of financing, with investors including Shenzhen Capital Group, Oriza Seed, and Guoce Capital; the company will showcase related products and demos at the Marine Expo from October 22 to 24.
