The underwater environment is harsh and dangerous, and the diving depth of humans is limited, so underwater robots have become an important tool for developing the ocean; unmanned remote-controlled submersibles are mainly divided into two types: cable remote-controlled submersibles and cable-free remote-controlled submersibles. Among them, cable remote-controlled submersibles are divided into three types: self-propelled in water, towed, and crawling on seabed structures; typical remote-controlled submersibles are composed of surface equipment and underwater equipment. The submersible body moves underwater with the help of thrusters, and the body is equipped with observation equipment (cameras, cameras, lighting, etc.) and operating equipment (manipulators, cutters, cleaners, etc.); the underwater movement and operation of the submersible are controlled and monitored by the operator on the surface mothership. The body is powered and information is exchanged by cables.
