Based on these accumulated technological data through the construction and operation of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), we will build an AUV “R2D4” with one-ton weight, which will be working for twelve hours in the depth of 3,500 meters for survey of the hydro-thermal regions in the Mariana Trough area. This robot will be equipped with highly intelligent system for establishment of deepsea underwater robotics, which will be expected to provide further data for artificial intelligence for oceans.
