A few days ago，The largest amount of financing in the underwater robot industry，Series B financing of private enterprise Deep Blue，Financing amount reaches 2.500 million yuan，Led by Yuanxing Capital，Binhai Venture Capital and Langma Peak Venture Capital also invested。This amount also includes investment from Shanshui earlier this year、Guangdong Travel Control Group、The amount of Pre-B round of financing jointly invested by several institutions such as Gaolin Capital and Zhihu Investment。As understood，This is Deep Blue’s fifth financing，Since its establishment in 2013，Basically raising funds once a year。

According to reports，Deep Blue’s other four financings were in 2013 when it received 5.5 million angel investments，Received 10 million yuan in Pre-A round financing from Tianjin TEDA Technology in 2014，Received 30 million yuan in Series A financing from GGV Capital (GGV) in 2015，Completed in 20171.100 million yuan A+ round financing，Led by Cableway Capital，Shunwei Capital、Hongtai Fund、Shangshi Capital、Dingxiang Capital and original investor Fang Yuanxing Capital、TEDA Technology、Many institutions including Shengjing Wanglian and others also participated in the investment。

About the whereabouts of this financing amount，Deep 188bet app download Blue revealed that it will expand investment in three major areas: 1) Continue to develop a series of new products in the personal consumption field；2) Continue to strengthen market activities and channel construction for overseas marketing；3) Strengthen the construction of production lines for military industry and commercial consumer products。

Deep Blue is the first domestic company engaged in the research and development of a full range of underwater robots、Private enterprises producing and selling，It is also the only company in China that has the production capacity of a full line of underwater robots，Service fields involving national defense and security、Water Conservancy and Hydropower、Scientific Research Archeology、Scientific Research Archeology、Water sports and other industries，Its products are divided into four parts: Military、Industrial、Business and personal consumption。

Previously，Deep Blue’s main business is underwater intelligent equipment，Mainly for military and industrial users，What is provided is an unmanned remotely operated vehicle (ROV)，Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) and Underwater Glider (AUG)，The latter two categories mainly focus on marine resource detection and marine environment monitoring，And ROV is aimed at different fields of use，Divided into "pufferfish"、"Porpoise" and "dolphin" and other "dolphin" series。

In the commercial grade market，Deep Blue’s products are mainly White Shark MAX、White Shark PRO and White Shark MINI。These three White Shark series all enter the market in a B2B2C way，Its commercial grade products can be used in aquariums、Playground、Science and Technology Museum and other entertainment venues provide underwater entertainment solutions。188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino As understood，Deep Blue on the road to commercialization in the future，Will be different from the aquarium、Science and Technology Museum、Diving clubs cooperate。

Last two years，Due to the instability and cyclicality of military orders，Deep Blue’s strategic direction has shifted from the military industry level to the consumer market，Mainly for individual consumer users，What is provided is an underwater self-propelled device、Underwater drones, powered floating boards and other products。The first product aimed at underwater sports is the underwater self-swimming device - White Shark MIX，This product was launched in May 2017，Can be used in swimming venues、Water World、Scenes such as beach bathing or diving entertainment。

In Wei Jiancang’s view，This is indeed a market with great potential。"In military and industrial grade fields，The country attaches great importance to the strategy of becoming a maritime power，And the current global enthusiasm for ocean development，The investment in marine equipment will continue to grow，And an essential part of it，Underwater robots are at least a tens of billions market。In the future, with the growth of entertainment and consumption needs of young people，The commercial and consumer markets are also worth looking forward to。”

The underwater robot industry is on the eve of an outbreak

Data display，During the national “Twelfth Five-Year Plan” period, 200 billion private capital was invested in economic development involving the ocean。This is a positive sign，Double benefits of market and policy，As the underwater drone market that contributes the most to the marine economy, there is a lot to do in the underwater drone market。Currently，The downstream demand of marine economy is very huge，The scale 188bet Online Sports Betting and Casino of the global ocean industry will reach 3 trillion US dollars by 2020。

Previously, Zhihui has written articles about the underwater robot industry《There are not many underwater drone players，How do these 8 companies share the 100 billion consumer market share？》，This article comes from the market、The development prospects of the underwater robot industry are predicted from two aspects of policy，It is on the eve of an outbreak。Many media and companies that have entered this field，Generally optimistic about the consumer underwater drone market，It is even believed that the outbreak will be concentrated in 2018 and 2019。

Currently，There are only a handful of players in the underwater robot industry，Most companies were established after 2010。Like Deep Blue, Boya Gongdao also focuses on the consumer market，It has launched a consumer-grade underwater robot product-BIKI。This product is based on the principles of bionics and fluid mechanics，Based on the box fish unique to the coral reef area，Relying on bionic fins to provide power。With underwater photography、Video recording and other functions。As understood，BIKI has been exported to North America、EU、Middle East、East Asia and other countries and regions。

Because of the huge number of fishing enthusiasts in China and the United States, about 26 million，And the potential market demand of more than 10,000 diving clubs around the world，Stealth Technology has developed a product for overseas C-end users——GLADIUS。This product uses a cabled underwater vehicle (ROV)、Half-cable solution between tetherless underwater vehicles (AUV)，Using a cable solution underwater to connect to the WiFi relay on the water surface，On the water, a wireless solution is used to connect to the control terminal。

188bet app Zhendi Technology develops in the direction of human-centered decision-making and meta-human control robots，A new underwater drone device "PowerDolphin" was exhibited at CES2018。The camera of this product can be flipped up and down，There is a searchlight on the front to illuminate the location where the camera is pointing。Supports 4K resolution 30fps video recording，The user can control the range within 1000m。As understood，This product can also search for underwater fish，You can create underwater maps again，And capture HD images and videos on and off the water，Provide information for undersea map surveying。

In addition to Zhendi Technology，Stealth Technology also exhibited its product Gladius at CES。This is a consumer-grade submarine based on a torpedo design，Mainly engaged in underwater photography、Monitoring and exploration functions。Looking at many companies，The positioning of each company is different，There are players targeting 2B business scenarios，There are also players targeting 2C consumers。

But it is not difficult to see from the products launched by these players，Most underwater robots are mainly used for photography、Take pictures or transfer data，The industry is in the initial stage of technology exploration。Different from aerial drones，Underwater drones need to face different water environments，The development process faces greater technical challenges。
