Key Trends Driving Growth In The Underwater Drone Market
Technological advancements are the key trends gaining popularity in the underwater drone market. Major companies operating in the market are using advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence to sustain their position in the underwater drone market. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the emulation of human intelligence in devices that have been designed to act and think like humans. AI can guide drones to perform autonomous operations. For instance, in June 2022, QYSEA Technology, a China-based company specializing in underwater robots and drones launched a vision platform powered by AI that gives its FIFISH underwater robots precision underwater active visual locking capabilities. The AI Vision Lock technology can easily and precisely visually lock onto chosen targets in any underwater environment. The ROV will automatically change its position and lock the target in the middle of the screen after the user just presses on the region of interest on the APP screen. The FIFISH user's operational efficiency and current resistance are improved when the AI Vision Lock is activated.
