Abstract

The serious accumulation of sludge in the water outlet of the South to North Water Diversion Project poses a constraint on the sustainable development of the water ecosystem and the long-term development of the water storage system. Silt accumulation may lead to problems such as deterioration of water quality, damage to water ecosystems, and water level decline. In order to solve the problem of sludge accumulation, it is necessary to carry out dredging and dredging work for the water body at the outlet of the water outlet. Dredging can restore water capacity, maintain ecological balance, and contribute to the sustainable management of water systems. At present, there are still many shortcomings in the existing dredging technology for small and medium-sized water bodies on the market, which is difficult to meet the requirements of dredging in the South to North Water Diversion Project. Therefore, it is very important and necessary to develop new dredging robots to meet the environmental dredging needs. This article is based on the background of water dredging and control at the exit of the South to North Water Diversion Project. Through in-depth analysis of existing dredging robot technology and underwater robot technology, and combined with research status at home and abroad, it is planned to provide guidance and direction for the design and development of underwater dredging robot humans with environmental protection dredging functions in the future.
