The invention relates to the fields of intelligent robot, in particular to a multi-axis propulsion water search and rescue robot. The multi-axis propulsion water search and rescue robot comprises a central control platform, at least three downward projecting brackets are arranged along the circumferential direction of the central control platform, hinge cable devices are arranged on each bracket, hinge cable devices are hoisted with foldable lifesaving net under the central control platform through cables, a power float device is also connected at the lower end of each bracket, a controller is arranged on the central control platform, and the controller is communicated with the hinge cable device and a power float device. The multi-axis propulsion water search and rescue robot has various motion modes, such as hovering, advancing, retreating and 360 DEG free steering in water, has high stability, has high ability to withstand wind and wave, and can be a good alternative to the traditional rescue way; meanwhile the design of the foldable lifesaving net realizes the purpose of fast and safe lifesaving, can realize multiple tasks such as water search and rescue, the water surface monitoring, the water measurement and control and the like in complicated water area and bad weather condition, practicability is high, flexibility is good and popularization prospect is good.
