The intelligent bionic robotic fish that can take pictures underwater, the unmanned underwater vehicle that can realize deep-water search and rescue, the intelligent bionic shark that can perform ocean surveying and mapping... These various underwater robots are all from Boya Gongdao (Beijing) Robotics Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Boya Gongdao).
Walking into the Boya Gongdao R&D and Exhibition Center in Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone, technicians are debugging the equipment. A square orange underwater robot floats in a huge aquarium. Fu Yuhan, Marketing Director of Boya Gongdao, said: "In 2021, the company will be rated as a national-level specialized, special and new 'little giant' enterprise. So far, 26 products of Boya Gongdao have been recognized as new technologies and new products in Beijing, occupying the domestic market. 70% of the market in the field of underwater fire protection. When we first started our business, more than a dozen people were crowded into a rough room to do research and development. At that time, we couldn’t imagine what it looks like now.”
In 2015, mass entrepreneurship and mass innovation became the trend of the times. At that time, driven by the rapid rise of DJI drones, many people turned their attention from the blue sky to the ocean, and the underwater drone track became the "blue ocean" of the consumer market. The founder of Boya Gongdao planned to build an "underwater DJI". He walked out of the Peking University laboratory and decided to lead the team to transform the underwater robot research that he had been engaged in for many years.
"With the advancement of research and development, we found that in addition to consumer-oriented photography and camera application scenarios, underwater robots can also play a greater role in underwater fire rescue, underwater engineering and other scenarios, which is equivalent to It is necessary to build a vehicle that carries various tools to move underwater." Fu Yuhan said. In the past, projects such as underwater search and rescue or underwater engineering inspections mostly relied on people, and rarely used underwater engineering platforms such as unmanned submersibles. Organic ideas also need to be imported from abroad. Boya Engineering faces the monopoly of related technologies. As a challenge, we began to develop domestic replacements for various underwater engineering platforms.
In a private house, surrounded by gray cement walls, a few light bulbs were simply connected. This was the initial R&D environment for Boya Gongdao's technical team. The technical team was very motivated. They moved all the instruments and experimental equipment to be used in this room, and placed a large pool. More than a dozen people began to devote themselves to the experiment. Fu Yuhan said: "The technical team has to solve many problems, from the most basic to ensure the uninterrupted power supply of the underwater robot, to the more complex fluid design and material use. There is no mature experience to learn from, so we can create it ourselves."
Up to now, Boya Engineering Road has successively conquered a number of key technologies such as underwater bionics, motion control, underwater communication, and underwater collaboration, and has also independently developed core components such as underwater laser scanning rulers and thrusters.
Combining the wind and the rain, to open up the mountains and forests, and break through the wilderness of technological transformation, Boya Works Road landed in Beijing Economic Development Zone in 2019. It was also in this year that Boya Works Road ushered in a critical transition period and entered a stage of rapid development and expansion. "In the first one or two years, we paid more attention to technology research and development. The technical geeks in the research and development team almost put the most cutting-edge technology on the product, but the functions were not outstanding." Fu Yuhan said. In a million-dollar project bidding, more than a dozen domestic manufacturers engaged in underwater robots gathered together, and the customer organized a "competition" to simulate the scene task of finding people who fell into the water, and selected accurate positioning and rapid search. manufacturer. Manufacturers throw their products into the water, and those that sink directly to the bottom, those that fail to operate, and those that cannot walk in a straight line... "Seeing problems with other products, we also sweated coldly behind our backs. Fortunately, in this competition, our water The robot performed normally and finally won the bid, but this also sounded the alarm for us to pay attention to quality stability and focus on the core needs of users." Fu Yuhan said.
With more and more dealings with users, Boya Gongdao constantly iterates the functional development of underwater robots. Fu Yuhan said: "Cut off unnecessary redundant functions, make technical subtractions for each robot, and start to walk on two legs with technology and the market, fully expand market application scenarios, and enter consumption, scientific research, and inspection. , surveying and other fields. 2019 is the first year we achieved profitability, and we have also become the first profitable independent research and development enterprise of underwater robots in the industry.”
In fact, Boya Gongdao and Economic Development Zone became associated in 2018. That year, Boya Gongdao appeared at the World Robot Conference held in Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone. In the first year of participating in the conference, it won the "Most Innovative Product Award" of the conference with its self-developed bionic shark Robo-shark 2.0, which was won by many media and investors. and users notice. At the 2021 World Robot Conference, Boya Gongdao's intelligent bionic shark attracted much attention. This "shark" can replace people in high-risk underwater work, survey and map underwater terrain and water quality, and can dive to 600-1000 meters underwater. meters, the control distance is up to 10 kilometers, breaking through the underwater communication barrier. "The shark-like shape is consciously integrated into the marine environment and will not cause harm to marine life." Fu Yuhan said.
"With the support of the Economic Development Zone, we have continued to grow and focus, and are now applying for the zone's 'first set' policy," said Fu Yuhan. Today, Boya Engineering Road has more than 300 independent patents, and has developed more than 20 products such as underwater robots, underwater unmanned boats, and marine equipment, which are used in underwater energy, fire rescue, marine surveying and mapping and other scenarios, which can protect the environment. , marine engineering, energy exploration and other fields to provide industry solutions, and reached cooperation with the Ministry of Transport, the Department of Emergency Management, and the China Electric Power Group.
With the release of the "14th Five-Year Plan for Robot Industry Development", the robot industry has ushered in a golden period of development. As the "one district" in the main platform of "three cities and one district" in the construction of an international science and technology innovation center in Beijing, the Economic and Technological Development Zone has listed the robot and intelligent manufacturing industry as one of the four leading industries, and will cultivate more talents like Boya Works. The same robot R & D company. Fu Yuhan said: "In the future, the entire robot industry will develop in the direction of intelligence, and one direction we are sure of is to be 'specialized and innovative', and we hope to use 20 years to catch up with foreign countries in this field. 60 years of development in the field." Next, Boya Gongdao will further lay out the two key areas of energy and inspection, promote the application of underwater robots to the engineering level, and deepen the marine business.
