BUILT FOR THE DEEP

Built for Underwater Industry

Once a conventional dexterous hand goes underwater, sealing, corrosion, pressure, and reliability all become bottlenecks at once. WA100 is redesigned around real underwater missions — from structure and materials to communications and control.

01 / PROTECTION

Full-Ocean-Depth Protection

An IP68+ sealing system built for long-term submersion and high pressure, customizable for mission depths from 100 m to 10,000 m.

  • Titanium alloy and fluororubber construction
  • Corrosion-resistant watertight connectors
  • Deep-sea dynamic sealing design
02 / DEXTERITY

Five-Finger Precision

Far more than open-and-close gripping. Multi-joint coordination lets the fingers conform to irregular targets and perform complex actions — flicking, twisting, pinching, and grasping.

  • 6 active DOF
  • 11 joints in synchronized motion
  • CAN / RS485 watertight communication
03 / FORCE

Stable Payload Output

Single-finger force of at least 10 N and a full-hand lift payload of at least 5 KG keep the grip controlled even in turbulent currents.

  • Position and current feedback
  • ≤1.5s full-stroke open/close
  • Fits ROVs and underwater manipulators

FROM GRIP TO MANIPULATION

Underwater Work Deserves More Than Simple Gripping

Traditional grippers handle fixed shapes and single motions well, but against soft, fragile, or irregular targets the choice is often between dropping it and crushing it.

CASE STUDY

From Approach to a Secure Grasp

Target recognition, posture adjustment, multi-finger enveloping, and a stable lift — completed in a real underwater environment. Not a concept demo, but a repeatable operational loop.

STEP 01

Approach & Position

The end-effector position is adjusted to the target's posture, reserving safe clearance for multi-finger enveloping.

Conform & Grasp

Multi-joint fingers gradually conform to irregular surfaces, reducing local stress and target damage.

Secure & Lift

Position and current feedback sustain the grasp through transport, recovery, or follow-on operations.

SCENARIOS

Built for Real Underwater Missions

From engineering maintenance to delicate sampling, artifact recovery to wet-environment service — WA100 lets a single five-finger end-effector cross more mission boundaries.

01 / ENGINEERING

Underwater Engineering

For subsea pipeline maintenance, offshore platform work, hull repair, valve operation, and underwater equipment servicing — bringing complex tool use below the surface.

  • Underwater welding, drilling, and cutting
  • Subsea pipeline inspection and maintenance
  • End-effector upgrades for ROVs and underwater manipulators

02 / SERVICE

Wet-Environment Service

IP68+ means embodied robots no longer have to avoid grease, moisture, and washdown environments — covering kitchen operations, pool maintenance, and environmental sampling.

  • Embodied operation in wet kitchen and sanitary environments
  • Pool cleaning and maintenance
  • Underwater environmental sampling and testing

03 / RECOVERY

Underwater Archaeology & Rescue

For high-value targets such as artifacts, specimens, and relics, WA100 performs extraction, transfer, and recovery in a way far closer to the human hand.

  • Delicate extraction of underwater artifacts
  • Mineral and biological sample collection
  • Shipwreck salvage and emergency rescue
