Recently, the domestically developed deep-sea robotic arm, independently created by Zhejiang CathayBot Technology Co., Ltd., has officially received type approval from the China Classification Society (CCS). This marks the first time a Chinese deep-sea hydraulic manipulator has obtained certification from an authoritative institution, signifying a substantial and critical advancement in China's deep-sea technology and engineering equipment. It successfully breaks the long-standing monopoly by foreign companies, overcomes multiple "bottleneck" technical challenges. It is a milestone toward achieving self-reliance in China's deep-sea equipment sector.

The deep-sea hydraulic manipulator that has obtained this type approval successfully passed the CCS's rigorous testing for complex maritime and oceanic environments. This includes multiple reliability verifications such as high pressure,vibration, high and low temperatures, EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility), and EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). This fully demonstrates the product's stability and reliability in complex application scenarios like marine engineering, deep-sea operations, and deep-sea scientific research, indicating that it has reached internationally advanced levels.

Rooted in national strategy, CathayBot has deeply cultivated the field of deep-sea operation equipment, consistently adhering to a development path that combines independent innovation-driven approaches with engineering validation processes. For many years, the company's R&D team has focused on breakthroughs in key core technologies for deep-sea hydraulic manipulator. From material selection and control algorithms to modular design, they have established a comprehensive quality system and engineering capability framework that meets international standards.

Obtaining the China Classification Society's type approval is not only full affirmation of CathayBot's technical prowess but also authoritative recognition of the continuous progress in independent innovation, stability, and reliability of domestically produced high-end equipment. Particularly in the specialized niche of task-specific robotic systems, Chinese enterprises are gradually transitioning from "import substitution" to "creating internationally competitive, high-quality solutions."

CathayBot stated that the company will take this type approval as a new starting point, continuously advance the platform-based, modular, and intelligent development of deep-sea operation equipment, accelerate the achievement of self-reliance in key core technologies, assist China's deep-sea engineering equipment in entering a new phase characterized by high-end, intelligent, and internationalized development, and inject new innovative momentum into the national "Marine Power" strategy.
