QYSEA Shifts to Autonomous Underwater Systems After Decade of Growth

Over the past ten years, the company has deployed hardware in more than 130 countries, establishing a footprint that ranges from Middle Eastern offshore energy infrastructure to salmon farms in Norway and Chile. This expansion relied on two distinct phases: first, democratizing professional robotics through compact, six-degree-of-freedom designs, and second, developing modular payloads for specialized inspection and surveying.

With over 120 patents now in its portfolio, QYSEA is shifting its focus to physical intelligence. CEO Belinda Zhang stated that the next decade will be defined by how machines interpret operational data to improve safety and consistency across deployments. By integrating artificial intelligence with collaborative robotic networks, the firm intends to standardize maintenance for complex underwater assets, transforming how industries perceive and manage submerged infrastructure.
