Research Advances in Marine Aquaculture Net-Cleaning Robots
In the realm of marine aquaculture, the netting of cages frequently accumulates marine fouling, which impedes water circulation and poses safety hazards. Traditional manual cleaning methods are marked by inefficiency, high labor demands, substantial costs, and considerable environmental degradation....

| description | In the realm of marine aquaculture, the netting of cages frequently accumulates marine fouling, which impedes water circulation and poses safety hazards. Traditional manual cleaning methods are marked by inefficiency, high labor demands, substantial costs, and considerable environmental degradation. This paper initially presents the current utilization of net-cleaning robots in the cleaning, underwater inspection, and monitoring of aquaculture cages, highlighting their benefits in enhancing operational efficiency and minimizing costs. Subsequently, it reviews key technologies such as underwater image acquisition, visual recognition, adhesion-based movement, efficient fouling removal, motion control, and positioning navigation. Ultimately, it anticipates the future trajectory of net-cleaning robots, emphasizing their potential for intelligence and sustainability, which could drive the marine aquaculture industry towards a more efficient and eco-friendly era. |
