The dredging robot is essential for removing underwater silt and sediment in port maintenance, river management, and reservoir dredging projects. Traditional manual dredging is time-consuming and labor-intensive, with high risks and costs. In response to these pain points, YG has developed a dredging robot designed specifically for underwater environments. This device integrates intelligent control, efficient power, and safety design, becoming the core equipment of modern underwater engineering.

Application scenarios of the sediment dredging robot
Dredging robots are widely used in multiple fields with their flexible maneuverability and powerful operating capabilities:
- Port channel maintenance: remove channel silt to ensure the safety of ship passage. Its narrow body can operate accurately in narrow areas, avoiding the blind spots of traditional machinery.
- Inland river and lake management: improve water quality and restore ecology. By efficiently removing eutrophic sediments, water pollution can be curbed from the source, helping to protect the water environment.
- Industrial wastewater treatment: This process cleans sedimentation tank sludge and improves wastewater treatment efficiency. To ensure safe operation, no personnel are required to enter a closed and dangerous environment.
- Water conservancy projects and emergency rescue: support underwater earthwork excavation, pipeline maintenance, and rapid post-disaster dredging, shorten the project cycle, and respond to sudden needs.
How does a dredging robot work?
The efficient operation of a dredging robot depends on three core systems:
- Power and propulsion system: dual motor drive (0.75-1.5KW*2) with a crawler chassis to provide strong power. Multi-thrusters achieve 360° all-around steering to adapt to complex underwater terrain.
- Intelligent control system: remote operation through the onshore console, real-time transmission of high-definition underwater images. Supports manual precision control or automatic operation with preset programs.
- Dredging operation system: Different types of dredging tools can be replaced, and the operation mode can be adjusted for different media such as silt, sand, and debris. The high-power suction tank quickly sucks in sediments and transports them to the designated location through pipelines.
Why choose YG sediment dredging robots?
Compared with traditional dredging methods, dredging robots bring revolutionary advantages:
- Greatly improved efficiency: Equipped with high-power water suction devices and customized dredging tools, the hourly processing volume far exceeds that of manual labor, and the operating efficiency in complex environments is increased by more than 3 times.
- Industry-leading accuracy: Built-in high-precision sensors and intelligent control systems to achieve centimeter-level positioning and path planning, ensuring coverage without dead ends and avoiding excessive excavation or omissions.
- Safety and zero risk: The whole process is remotely controlled, and no personnel need to go into the water, which completely avoids safety hazards such as drowning and high pressure in diving operations. The equipment has multiple protection mechanisms to prevent failures and accidents.
- Adapt to complex environments: IP68 waterproof level, can dive to 30 meters deep water area, equipped with multi-thruster vector propulsion system, can move flexibly in complex terrain such as strong water flow and steep slope (≤30°), and even climb steps.
- Convenient and flexible deployment: The modular design makes it easy to disassemble and assemble components, convenient for transportation, and can be quickly assembled and debugged after arriving at the site, saving 50% of preparation time.
