The company was founded in Sep. 2015, mainly engaged in the
technology development of underwater robot as well as product sales
business. We have developed a variety of underwater robots. The
products that designed for consumer-used and business-used have
been launched. In Nov. 2016, the business-oriented hybrid energy
underwater robot came out；business-relationships have been
established with government departments, including a military industry
as well as the Waterway Transportation Sector of the Ministry of
Communications.
BIKI - the brand new consumer-oriented product was launched in May
2017. Not only has it raised more than 200,000US Dollars through
crowdfunding, but also attracted the first users from over 40 countries

1.Who is BIKI
Learn about BIKI’s construction
BIKI, a consumer-used RoboFish launched by RoboSea, is built
on the basis of bionics and hydromechanics theory, with the box
fish native to reef zone as its design model. The power of BIKI is
produced by the bionic caudal fin; its streamlined body is small
and cute. Not only is BIKI capable of taking photos/videos in the
water, it’s also featured with tech highlights such as modularized
design, smart obstacle-avoidance, eccentric pan & tilt head and
GPS return-to-base.

in and rotate it in any direction by 90°.
2. To remove it, please push the caudal fin in, rotate it by 90°and
take it out.

The Sleep-Mode
How to Operate the Controller
Anti-lost feature
BIKI might fall outside the sonar range when moving in the water, thus
lost contact. To lower the losing probability, the anti-lost feature is
developed. BIKI will automatically stop moving and will head above
the surface to wait for further order if there’s no operational command
comes from the remote control within 15secs.
CAUTION:
1.Please deactivate Sleep-Mode before use.
2.When use the remote control, please make sure
it in the same media with BIKI.

The controller uses the mechanical switch. When
not in use for 5mins, it will go into sleep mode (red
light flicks once). Long press “ ”till blue light
flickers twice to activate the controller.
While in the water, the remote control gives out sound wave signal
by the built-in acoustic transducer. BIKI moves according to the
signals it received from the remote control. Communication
medium: water; communication means: sound wave; ultrasound
wave: 27kHz, within the civil-used frequency band.

level place, click “confirm” to calibrate. Calibration begins when
head light keeps flickering) when BIKI shows abnormalities in the
water such as leaning to one side, turning upwards, or keeping
turning round on the way back to the base, unable to return to the
original point. Fail to do calibration BIKI may work with incorrect
posture, thus influence the experience of the product. Moreover,
long-time leaving it uncalibrated will do a greater influence to BIKI.
CAUTION:
Please disconnect BIKI’s Wi-Fi before uploading
and get connected to other networks.

Path Customizing
Smart Obstacle-Avoidance
this feature can be found in the “Draw a route” drop-down list on
the real-time control page. With this feature, BIKI can move as
the path planned in advance. During this process, BIKI will
capture HD video and save it into the memory and you can
check the video when the process is complete or review it in the
photo album.
1. Choose the paths in the system or plan the path by yourself. To
customize the path, you need to use one continuous line to make
any kind of graph in the drawing zone. Once it’s done, you can
choose to save it.
2. Put in a diving depth which is available from 0-6000cm.
How to Use It
1. Click “device info” in “ ” section, then put the new name
and password in, and click “complete”. As the updated info is
not in accordance with the existing one, the Wi-Fi will get
