01 / Overview

A remote-controlled unmanned underwater vehicle (ROV) is an unmanned underwater vehicle controlled through an umbilical cable. The "Hailong III" is a remote-controlled unmanned underwater vehicle (ROV) independently developed by China for exploration operations, and is a key equipment of the "Jiaolong Exploration of the Sea" project. Its maximum operating depth is 6000 meters, with the ability to autonomously patrol underwater lines and operate heavy equipment. It is mainly used for deep and offshore geological, mineral resource, and biological survey research, as well as comprehensive underwater operations such as offshore oil engineering.

02 / How visitors use it

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

03 / The science behind it

Remote Operated Underwater Vehicle (ROV) is an unmanned underwater vehicle that can be remotely controlled through umbilical cables. Its core advantage is the ability to transmit control commands, power supply, and data through cables, enabling precise operations and real-time monitoring in deep-sea environments. The "Hailong III" is a survey operation ROV independently developed by China. As a key equipment of the "Jiaolong Exploration of the Sea" project, it was organized by the China Ocean Conservancy Association and developed by the Underwater Engineering Research Institute of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. It is mainly used for deep and offshore geological, mineral resource, and biological survey research, as well as underwater comprehensive operations such as offshore oil engineering services. The "Hailong III" has excellent overall performance, with dimensions of 3.2 meters in length, 2.1 meters in height, and 1.9 meters in width. It has a mass of 5000 kilograms in the air, an effective payload mass of 250 kilograms, and a maximum working depth of 6000 meters. It can operate stably in complex deep-sea environments. In terms of navigation performance, the equipment has a forward speed of 3.2 knots (approximately 1.

04 / Built for a public floor

Every unit leaves the factory after a running test: mechanisms cycled, electronics burned in, edges dressed, fixings torqued and marked. Wear parts — bearings, sliders, lamps, belts, touch panels — are modular and listed on the spare-part sheet, so a venue technician can replace them without returning the exhibit. Crating is plywood with foam blocking; the loading plan and packing list travel with the shipment.
