China Unveils Lifelike Underwater Robo-Fish with Autonomous Navigation
China unveiled the BG-5 Golden Dragon Fish, a lifelike underwater robot mimicking a golden arowana, at the 2026 China International Fair for Trade in Services in Beijing. Developed by Boyagongdao Marine Technology Group, the 3-kg robot uses a flexible multi-joint tail for propulsion, enabling autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance without relying on conventional propellers. The technology aims to enhance underwater surveillance, reconnaissance, and coordinated robotic missions, reflecting advances in biomimetic robotics and hydrodynamic design.
