About Symbio Explorer Sasakyang Pampananaliksik
Ang SymBio Explorer ay isang awtonomong sasakyang pampananaliksik na idinisenyo para sa mga siyentipikong ekspedisyon sa polar na rehiyon. Ang sasakyang-dagat ay nagsisilbing mothership para sa mga aerial, surface at underwater na drone system, at maaaring patakbuhin nang remote. Ang tuloy-tuloy na organikong mga kurba ay dumadaloy mula sa proa hanggang sa popa, na nagbibigay sa hull ng biomorphic na anyo na walang matitigas na sulok. Ang mga kagamitang pantrabaho tulad ng A-frame hoists ay biswal na isinama sa hull upang mapanatiling pinag-isa ang hugis nito. Ang kaliwang bahagi ng kubyerta (port deck) ay ginagamit para sa paglulunsad ng drone, habang ang kanang bahagi (starboard) ay ginagamit para sa pagbawi ng mga ito. Ang sasakyang-dagat ay may habang 88.5 metro at lapad na 14 metro, at gumagamit ng ganap na de-kuryenteng propulsion.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- 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.

- Production Technology
- 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.
- Design Challenge
- 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.
- Research
- 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.
- Inspiration
- 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.
- Project Duration
- The project started in June 2024 in Guangzhou and finished in May 2025 in Beijing.
- Operation Flow
- 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.
