Milad Fayazi, the managing director of the Knowledge-Based Company, that is the manufacturer of Remote Control Submarine, said that these mini submarines are robots that are widely used in the world.

As regards the specifications of the machine, he said that these remotely guided submarines are egg-shaped which are usually used for military activities or ocean navigation,” he added.

"Our field of work is industrial and free structure devices that are designed according to the type of project and are usually not egg-shaped; rather, they are in the form of structural robots and one of their advantages is the possibility of their production in different dimensions. This issue reduces costs and allows operations to be carried out in small spaces.

"In addition to implementing industrial processes, these robots are also capable of military activities, including the capability to neutralize sea mines or naval mine planting. In spite of that, our approach is to develop industrial robots and inspect the priorities that are considered for these robots."

He said that while the submarines can be used for military purposes such as neutralizing naval mines, they have focused on developing industrial robots and inspection uses as their priorities.

"Subsurface inspections happen in various fields, for example, installation of equipment on the ocean bed and subsea cable and pipe laying for companies active in the oil and drilling fields," added Fayazi.

"The inspector model robots, with the help of sensors and cameras installed on them, perform inspection operations on these cables and pipes to check for failures and shortcomings like that, but in the working class model robots, in addition to inspection, can also cover a series of other operations. Given the fact that the degree of freedom is one of the prominent features of these robots and allows them to act as powerful as an underwater diver," the managing director of the Knowledge-Based Company further said.

"The inspector robot is able to go down to the depth of 150 meters below the surface, and our working-class robot is designed to go down to a depth of 400 meters," he continued, adding that
