The invention discloses a multifunctional intelligent underwater robot which comprises a mechanical system, an electronic system and a software system. The mechanical system comprises a frame structure, a sealed cabin body, a camera, executing mechanisms and an accessory; the electronic system consists of a main control switch, a main power supply, a cable and electric appliances, and an interactive interface is provided for a main control computer in the cabin body, various sensors and peripheral equipment; the software system comprises two layers of frameworks including an upper computer and a lower computer, the upper computer system is an AUV action command center and is responsible for processing information uploaded by the lower computer, judging the information to conduct action decision and then sending instructions to the lower computer, and the lower computer then distributes the instructions to a propeller, a mechanical arm, a pneumatic device and other executing mechanisms to complete set tasks; and in the process from information to strategies, an AUV executes different tasks according to different priorities until the AUV floats from the water surface finally. The multifunctional intelligent underwater robot has the characteristics of being large in moving range and flexible, and can be widely applied to military and civil fields.
