Boyagongdao showcased its BG-5 Golden Dragon Fish biomimetic autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) at the China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS). This innovative robotic fish weighs approximately 3 kg and measures 640 mm in length, designed specifically for shallow inspections.
The BG-5 features a soft multi-joint tail, enabling it to achieve a top speed of 0.6 m/s and a depth rating of 5 meters. This propeller-free design is particularly suited for delicate underwater environments, making it a significant advancement in underwater inspection technology.
As the demand for efficient and non-intrusive inspection methods grows, the BG-5's capabilities position it as a valuable tool in various applications. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
