The Brief

Hainan Feixingzhe Technology Co., Ltd. is utilizing the Hainan Free Trade Port framework to expand the application market for unmanned intelligent equipment, China News Service reported during a research tour in Haikou. The company develops drones, unmanned vessels, and deep-sea submersibles, integrating them for collaborative operations while providing services across equipment, algorithms, data, and applications, according to chairman Chen Yun. Industrial drones collect geographic information, assist emergency rescue, and handle inspections, while underwater robotics inspect undersea pipelines and marine cables, according to Chen Jiahao, manager of the firm's unmanned intelligent control development department. One unmanned vessel functions as a mothership carrying underwater robots, relaying communications to control submerged equipment and stream high-definition video in real time for power inspections, buoy anchor chain checks, and bridge pier monitoring. Looking ahead, Chen Yun stated that the enterprise plans to sustain research and development in unmanned intelligent gear and explore product exports through the Hainan Free Trade Port to access overseas markets.
