Market Definition
Underwater robotics is a branch of robotics that covers the research and development, design, manufacture, and application of robots operating in underwater environments. The term can refer to any robot functioning at or below water level (marine robotic systems). Still, it usually refers specifically to autonomous vehicles designed for use underwater. An underwater robot also called an autonomous underwater vehicle, is a machine that can be remotely operated. It is designed to work underwater for continuous oceanic surveillance. Robotics has been utilized in manufacturing in the past few years. The marvelous expansion has made them more cultured and dependable for military and law implementation applications. Underwater robots play a significant role in the expansion of the offshore industry. In addition, it has numerous implementations in marine biology, underwater archaeology, and maritime security.
Market Dynamics of the Asia-Pacific Underwater Robotics Market Include:
- Increasing use of underwater robotics for military and security purposes
Asia Pacific region has shown a rapid increase in the use of underwater robotics due to its use in various military missions and operations and in security purposes at the port and sea. Surveillance and intelligence gathering are two factors that have boosted the use of underwater robotics for military and security purposes.
- Rising use of ROVs in the oil & gas industries
The discoveries of new offshore oil and gas industries in the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea have increased the demand ROVs in oil and gas industries. It is safe, and the operation can be handled with greater efficiency and large scale.
- Increasing demand for AUVs for underwater exploration and scientific research
The increasing functionality of AUVs and the ability to operate them remotely have increased their demand for underwater exploration and scientific research in the Asia Pacific region. The discovery of minerals and underlying cables for a communication system is an additional booster for the Asia-Pacific underwater robotics market.
Restraints/Challenges Faced by the Asia-Pacific Underwater Robotics Market
- High cost of underwater robots/vehicles
The usage and need for underwater vehicles are increasing rapidly in various industries. Still, many businesses cannot purchase the underwater vehicle for required operations and tasks due to the high cost associated with it. The high cost of purchase and high maintenances charge of the underwater vehicle may act as a restraint for the Asia-Pacific underwater robotics market.
- Threats and concerns for cyber security and operational security
The communication system used to operate these AUVs and collect data at the operation center can be hacked. It poses a security risk and concern for the AUV operators and involves industries such as military, marine biology, oil and gas and offshore energy sectors. These threats and concerns for cyber security and operational security for underwater vehicles may restrain the growth of the Asia-Pacific underwater robotics market.
