Abstract

The present disclosure provides a carrying device and an operation method thereof. The carrying device includes: a floating platform; and at least one flexible unit provided on a bottom side of the floating plate and having a cavity formed therein. The flexible unit is deformed under a stress to reduce the friction force between the flexible unit and the solid in the water, which allows the carrying device to break free from the solid without external help.
