E Uiga ia Symbio Explorer Va'a Su'esu'e Fa'asaienisi

O le SymBio Explorer o se va'a su'esu'e fa'aletagata-ese (autonomous) ua fuafuaina mo malaga su'esu'e fa'asaienisi i itulagi aisa. O le va'a e avea ma va'a-tina mo faiga drone i le ea, i luga o le fogāsami ma lalo o le sami, ma e mafai ona fa'agaioia mai se nofoaga mamao. E tafe atu ni laina pi'o fa'anatura e le motusia mai le taumua i le taumuli, ma maua ai e le tino o le va'a se foliga fa'aola-meaola e aunoa ma ni tulimanu ma'a'a. O mea faigaluega e pei o si'i fa'a-A (A-frame hoists) ua fa'apipi'iina i totonu o le tino o le va'a ina ia tumau ai le tasi o foliga i fafo. O le fogāva'a i le itu tauagavale e lagolagoina ai le fa'alele o drone, a'o le itu taumatau e fa'aaogaina mo le toe aumaia. O le va'a e 88.5 mita le umi ma le 14 mita le lautele, ma e fa'aaogaina atoatoa le malosi fa'aeletise mo lona fa'agaioiga.

E Uiga i le A' Design Award Uʻamea

O le A' Design Award Uʻamea na manumalo ai Symbio Explorer Va'a Su'esu'e Fa'asaienisi, o se faamaoniga mamalu e tuuina atu i mamanu lelei e faataunuu ai manaʻoga faapolofesa ma pisinisi e faamoemoeina mai galuega ua mamanuina lelei. O ē manumalo i le Uʻamea e faaalia ai le tomai tele, le faapitoa maualuga, le malamalama o tagata poto ma le mafai fatufatuaʻi o ē na faia. E faamoemoeina Symbio Explorer Va'a Su'esu'e Fa'asaienisi e avea ma mea ua matuā vivii, mataʻina ma pelepelea e aogā ma fou. O lenei mamanu na manumalo i le A' Design Award Uʻamea e tuufaatasia ai faiga sili o le pisinisi ma e iai uiga faatekonolosi mafai ua fesoʻotaʻi ma le poto ma le taleni. Ona o lona faatuatuaina, e tatau ai Symbio Explorer Va'a Su'esu'e Fa'asaienisi ona faaaloalogia ma ua mamanuina e tuuina mai ai faaleleiga o le olaga e fesoasoani e faia ai e le lalolagi se nofoaga e sili atu ona lelei.

Uiga Fa'apitoa
Conventional research vessels follow engineering logic with industrial forms. This design challenges the fixed opinion by conceiving mothership as an entirely new species, a futuristic artificial-marine organism", a mysterious intelligent entity. It is neither a cold exploration instruments nor a larger whale, but a new aesthetics object, which emphasize a new ethics of species interaction, ecological balance and sustainable coexistence. It can achieve polar scientific expedition. The Design enhance visual ruggedness and embody the spirit of exploration.

Tekonolosi Gaosiga
The design employs continuous organic curves throughout form and detail. From bow to stern, from bridge to drone deck, the fluidity of these curves achieves formal closure while integrating functional requirements into a unified biomorphic envelope. This approach eliminates fragmented lines and rigid orthogonal geometries typical of modernist industrial design. Through the comprehensive application of form, material, and color, operational equipment such as A-frame hoists are visually absorbed into the hull, reducing their perceptual prominence and reinforcing the continuity of the overall silhouette.
Lu'itau o le Mamanu
The overall spatial layout is the key to ship design. Engineers are mainly responsible for organizing functional relationships and improving the efficiency of equipment and pipeline layout and placement. Designers consider the skeletal proportions and overall appearance of the appearance, as well as the humanized content such as the behavior and experience, perception and comfort of scientists and crew members. The challenge of the project lies in the communication, collaboration, debate, and compromise between designers and engineers.
Su'esu'ega
The form research by two steps, named "reverse engineering". Firstly, polyurethane foam and oil sludge are used as materials, and the model is manually made at a scale of 1:100. Then, the solid model is taken as the object, and key point sets are collected by laser, and then imported into the 3D software (Rhino 7.0 version) for parametric design modification.
Fa'aosofia
SymBio Explorer imagines the research vessel as a new species, proposes an "artificial-marine organism" between machine and living creature. The biomorphic silhouette externalizes its identity as an intelligent unmanned system mothership. Merging "Symbiosis" and "Biology," it embodies a new ecological ethics: the ocean is not a resource to exploit, but an entity coexisting with humanity.
Umi o le Poloketi
The project started in June 2024 in Guangzhou and finished in May 2025 in Beijing.
Fa'agasologa o Galuega
The SymBio Explorer is an autonomous, remotely-operable research vessel serving as a coordinated mothership for aerial, surface, and underwater drone systems. Certified with i-ship (No, R1, M, I) intelligent notation, it achieves autonomous navigation in open waters, assisted berthing, remote monitoring, equipment diagnostics, and predictive analysis. The port deck serves as UAV launch platform while starboard accommodates recovery; stern-mounted systems deploy surface craft and submersibles.
