Improved production techniques and technological proliferation in robotics industry in North America has spurred growth in this region. Defense activities from countries such as the U.S. and Canada have led to an increased demand for such robots. Investments in robotically operated marine vehicles have escalated in the Australian subcontinent. Countries such as Japan, South Korea, and China from the Asia Pacific region are highly advanced in the field of robotics and automation. A significant rise in research and exploration activities in the European region is expected to drive the demand of global underwater robotics market.
However, the presence of water and its high pressure levels slow down the signal transmission speed and create background noises and echoes. Communication inadequacies below the surface could pose a challenge to the advancement of market.
Underwater robotics has been extensively used for defense and commercial operations. Bluefin-12 AUV by Bluefin Robotics equipped with inbuilt Buried Object Scanning Sonar (BOSS) is used widely for rescue and mining operations. The U.S. Navy has deployed the Blackghost AUV robot by Cambridge AUVs, which is exclusively designed to undertake an assault course autonomously without outside control.
Major industry players include Bluefin Robotics Corporation, MacArtney Group, Phoenix International, Schilling Robotics, Soil Machine Dynamics Ltd., and Oceaneering International Inc.
