SEAHI ROBOTICS - 苏州世航智能科技有限公司
"0-10000"
SEAHI ROBOTICS (Suzhou) makes marine robots from 0–10,000 m depth, holding 400+ IP rights; first to commercialize underwater hull-cleaning robots in China.
SEAHI ROBOTICS is a Suzhou-based developer, manufacturer, and service provider of marine general-purpose robots, founded in 2023. The company's founder Chen Xiaobo has 19 years of focused experience in ocean robotics, rooted in academic collaboration with Harbin Engineering University, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Ocean University of China, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. SEAHI is recognized as the earliest domestic enterprise to commercialize underwater hull-cleaning robots.
Core product lines span three depth tiers. The Huyu series covers multi-scenario underwater operations including hull biofouling removal, underwater inspection, and deep-sea exploration. The Husha is a surface robot platform serving smart water management, environmental monitoring, unmanned transport, and security patrol.
SEAHI X is a deep-sea mineral exploration robot. The Pangu thruster series is a proprietary propulsion component designed for complex marine conditions. The company holds more than 400 authorized intellectual property rights and has six independently developed core systems. Application sectors include vessel hull cleaning (replacing chemical cleaning methods without damage to anti-fouling coatings), offshore wind farm subsea inspection, offshore photovoltaic platform inspection, aquaculture monitoring, hydrological survey, marine archaeology, and resource exploration.
In 2026, SEAHI was selected into Singapore's national underwater hull inspection and cleaning program and participated alongside China Classification Society at Singapore Maritime Week. The company completed multiple funding rounds totaling hundreds of millions of RMB by 2025–2026, making it the largest single financing round in the global marine robotics sector according to the company's own announcements. It was listed as a Suzhou "unicorn-candidate" enterprise in 2026 and won the China Navigation Society Science and Technology Progress First Prize.
