The invention relates to launching and recycling technologies for underwater gliders or other underwater or water surface vehicles, in particular to an intelligent underwater robot shipborne launching and offshore recycling mechanism and corresponding method. The recycling mechanism comprises a shipborne body, a main recycling slide way, an auxiliary recycling slide way, an electric turning mechanism, an electric control cabinet, a tensioning mechanism, a multi-sensor fusion positioning system, a dragging unit and a hook system. The recycling mechanism is simple, reasonable, reliable in structure, and easy and convenient to operate, the underwater gliders, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV), other underwater robots and the like can be launched and recycled quickly and efficiently, the workload of sailors and related staff on a ship are greatly relieved, the dangerous factors in the launching and recycling processes of the underwater robots are avoided, and the problem that the launching and recycling processes waste time and labor is solved.
