This invention discloses a multi-functional
robot for ship maintenance and anti-piracy defense, belonging to the field of marine special robots and intelligent ship operation and maintenance technology. This multi-functional
robot comprises two types of isomorphic modular robots: one type is a ship maintenance
robot, equipped with
underwater visual recognition,
hull rust and
dirt removal, flexible
grinding, and localized spot
coating functions, used for routine
underwater anti-
corrosion and anti-
fouling maintenance of ships; the other type is a
cutting and
welding anti-piracy defense robot, integrating
underwater cutting and
welding mechanisms, capable of completing underwater damage repairs of ships, while simultaneously using the
cutting mechanism to
cut and stop pirate boarding boats, external components, and climbing devices, thus possessing both maintenance and anti-piracy defense functions. This invention adopts a robot division of labor and
collaborative design. The maintenance end adopts a multi-
machine collaborative
operation mode, which is highly compatible with the self-developed multi-
machine collaborative anti-
corrosion and anti-
fouling process. The maintenance and defense end realizes the integration of cutting,
welding and anti-piracy functions. It has a reasonable structure, strong practicality and easy deployment. It can complete the entire process of underwater operation and maintenance and offshore security operations without stopping the ship or entering the
dry dock. It is applicable to underwater maintenance and security defense of military and civilian ships throughout the
entire life cycle and has significant market application value and creativity.
