OTC 2026: QYSEA Unveils Next-Generation Smart Underwater Inspection Robotics

From May 4-7, 2026, the Offshore Technology Conference — one of the world's premier events for the global oil and gas industry — was officially held at NRG Park in Houston.

Recognized as a key technology benchmark for offshore energy development, OTC has been held since 1969 and is widely regarded as one of the largest offshore engineering exhibitions in the United States. More than an industry gathering, it serves as a global stage where leading energy companies, technology innovators, and offshore professionals come together to explore the next generation of digital operations, underwater automation, and intelligent asset management.

QYSEA Technology's participation in OTC 2026 marks not only the growing presence of Chinese underwater robotics companies on the international stage, but also a strong demonstration of QYSEA's capabilities in the global high-end offshore and marine technology market.

Strong Booth Engagement with Global Energy Leaders

From the opening day, QYSEA's booth attracted strong attention from energy professionals, offshore operators, technical experts, and industry leaders from around the world.

With a showcase centered on industrial-grade underwater robotics and intelligent inspection solutions, QYSEA presented how compact ROV systems can support safer, smarter, and more efficient underwater operations across offshore oil and gas, marine infrastructure, shipping, aquaculture, and renewable energy applications.

Many long-term customers and industry partners also visited the booth to reconnect with the QYSEA team. In-depth discussions focused on real-world scenarios such as offshore jacket inspection, wind farm operations and maintenance, underwater asset inspection, and automated underwater workflows.

These conversations with frontline industry users not only reinforced the practical value of QYSEA's technologies, but also provided valuable insights for the company's continued global expansion.

Live Demo Highlights: Proving Precision Control in Real Time

Beyond the booth showcase, QYSEA also conducted a series of key offline demonstrations during OTC 2026, giving industry users a closer look at how FIFISH ROVs perform in realistic operational conditions.

At OTC Demo Day, visitors experienced FIFISH Station Lock in action. Powered by QYSEA's dual-DVL technology, the ROV maintained stable positioning in the water — even when subjected to heavy tether-pulling force during the live demonstration.

The demo offered a direct look at QYSEA's strengths in precision underwater control, real-time responsiveness, and intelligent ROV operation in the field.

       

Throughout Day 1 and Day 2, QYSEA also showcased the advanced inspection capabilities of FIFISH X1 and FIFISH E-MASTER through live water tank demonstrations. Key highlights included:

• > Dual-DVL navigation

• > Q-Pilot capability preview

• > Forward, downward, and parallel station locking

• > Continuous in-tank operation powered by the E-Series direct power supply system

Together, these demonstrations showed how QYSEA's underwater robotic solutions can support more stable, precise, and efficient inspection workflows in demanding offshore and industrial environments.

Innovation-Driven Solutions for Safer and More Efficient Underwater Operations

QYSEA Technology has always placed innovation at the core of its development. At OTC 2026, the company presented a new generation of underwater robotics solutions designed to help global customers reduce operational risks, improve inspection efficiency, and lower the cost of complex underwater missions.

By integrating advanced underwater robotics, intelligent navigation, precision measurement, station-locking control, and field-proven inspection capabilities, QYSEA is helping accelerate the digital transformation of marine and offshore industries.

From visual inspection and asset monitoring to underwater positioning, measurement, and intelligent assisted operation, QYSEA's solutions are opening new possibilities for how offshore assets can be inspected, managed, and maintained.

Looking Ahead: Building the Next Chapter of Smart Ocean Operations

As OTC 2026 continues, QYSEA will keep showcasing its latest achievements in underwater robotics, intelligent control, and marine inspection technologies.

With strong engagement from global customers, industry partners, and offshore professionals, QYSEA looks forward to building more international collaborations and contributing to the next chapter of smart, efficient, and sustainable ocean operations.
