The invention discloses an underwater robot device for shallow water observation. An electronic cabin is a body of the underwater robot device, transparent fairings are connected with the electronic cabin and mounted at two ends of the same, battery cabins are arranged on the electronic cabin, battery cabin sealing heads are connected with each battery cabin and mounted at two ends of the same, propeller and illuminating lamp cabins are arranged on the electronic cabin and mounted above the battery cabins bilaterally symmetrically, illuminating lampshades are connected with the illuminating lamp cabins, propellers are hermetically sleeved at the tail ends of the propeller and illuminating lamp cabins through O-rings, a handle is fixed on the electronic cabin, and an umbilical cable connecting port is formed in an electronic cabin body. The electronic cabin is made of PVC selectively, so that strength and pressure resistance of the electronic cabin are improved; through stability analysis of the electronic cabin, the illuminating lampshades, the handle, the umbilical cable connecting port, the propellers, the propeller and illuminating lamp cabins, the battery cabins, the battery cabin sealing heads and the transparent fairings, stability of a underwater robot is determined, and domestic production level is increased.
