Deep-sea explorer completes mission

China's self-developed Haiqin, a 6,000-meter deep-sea remotely operated vehicle, has successfully completed a deep-sea voyage in the South China Sea. The deep-sea electric ROV vessel named Haiqin, which was designed and built by Shanghai Jiao Tong University, reached a depth of 4,140 meters during the sea trial early on Saturday morning. Equipped with high-definition cameras, robotic arms, sonar systems and sensors, the ROV demonstrated capabilities such as automatic heading control and precise hovering. The 3.6-metric-ton ROV successfully collected deep-sea biological samples and sediments, which were taken to a supporting research vessel named Zhong Shan Da Xue.
