AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing manta ray-inspired submersibles suffer from insufficient endurance, high power consumption due to motor drive, limited mobility and single mode of movement, and limited ocean energy harvesting methods, while thermodynamic energy-driven systems exhibit poor stability and reliability.

Method used

Integrating solar energy harvesting, ocean current power generation, and thermoelectric buoyancy propulsion, the design incorporates gliding and flapping wing propulsion. Through multimodal application strategies, it achieves autonomous energy harvesting and attitude adjustment, including solar-ocean current frictional energy co-generation and thermoelectric energy-electrical combined variable buoyancy propulsion.

Benefits of technology

It extends the submersible's endurance, improves maneuverability and propulsion efficiency, enables efficient utilization of multi-source energy, and adapts to the needs of underwater multimodal operations.
