N2 - Underwater soft robots are being developed to address the limitations of traditional underwater robots, such as heavy weight, susceptibility to rust, and lack of flexibility. They can replace humans in tasks like underwater search and rescue, exploration and salvage, and pipeline inspection and maintenance. Recognizing the importance of echolocation, this paper proposes a submersible soft robot with flexible ultrasonic array for bathymetric measurement, underwater topography imaging, and underwater defect detection, offering a new solution for profound exploration under harsh conditions.
