The Institute of Marine Vehicle Technology relies on the National Key Laboratory of Underwater Robot Technology to meet the major needs of the national naval equipment construction and marine development strategy. It has become a cutting-edge research base in the field of underwater robot technology in my country and a training base for high-level compound talents.

In recent years, the Marine Vehicle Technology Research Institute has undertaken assignments from the National Defense Science and Industry Administration, the Ministry of Equipment Development, the Ministry of Naval Equipment, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and related scientific research institutions and production units in the industry. And more than 100 entrusted scientific research projects, more than 20 types of autonomous underwater robots, surface unmanned boats, wave gliders and other prototypes and products have been developed. For the first time in China, AUV has been used to achieve underwater pipeline and underwater target tracking, three-dimensional seabed topography measurement, seabed wreck detection, etc., and an open modular multi-underwater robot coordinated control system structure has been established, and three underwater robots have been completed for the first time in China. The maritime cooperative formation test. In the USV field of our country, as the only national defense 973 project and the first 863 project research unit, it has taken the lead in realizing autonomous situational awareness in complex marine environments, autonomous and safe navigation with multiple obstacles, marine environment monitoring, underwater hidden target detection, and multi-boat swarms. In practical applications such as operations, the autonomous and safe navigation of a 50-knot high-speed unmanned boat has been realized for the first time.

The institute has more than 30 faculty members, nearly 200 doctoral students and master students. In the past five years, more than 300 academic papers have been published in domestic and foreign journals and conferences, and more than 120 invention patents and software copyrights have been obtained.Over 20 national and provincial science and technology awards has been awarded.
