Abstract

This application provides an intelligent robot for cleaning and mending a net cage and a method of using the intelligent robot, including: a control system, a main body, an attraction module, a motion module, a cleaning module and a mending module. The main body includes a streamlined pressure casing, and a drive mechanism and a water ballast tank which are located in the pressure casing. The attraction module includes electromagnets which are symmetrically provided at a bottom of the pressure casing. The motion module includes first and second motion mechanisms which are symmetrically provided at opposite sides of the pressure casing. A traveling path of the first motion mechanisms is perpendicular to a traveling path of the second motion mechanisms. The intelligent robot achieves cleaning and mending for both sides of the net cage, and is simple to operate, safe, high-efficient, economical and convenient.
