The "Pan Gu" amphibious intelligent exploration drone incorporates the design concept of the Chinese classical philosophical culture "round sky and square earth" into its product styling. It reflects the dialectical unity relationship between heaven and earth, humanity and nature, freedom and rules through the simple "square and circle" appearance of the product. In Chinese culture, the design that combines the "square" and the "circle" is called "Qiankun", which represents a realm where humanity integrates with sky and ocean. This realm allows people to freely shuttle between the whole world, and this is also the experience our product hopes to bring to users.
Besides, the "Pan Gu" amphibious intelligent exploration drone cleverly combines the low - altitude flight module and the underwater navigation module through modular design, and switches the module functions according to user instructions. Among them, the low - altitude flight module adopts a lightweight and minimalist design, which enables the drone to have a more powerful endurance and more flexible flight ability in flight mode. At the same time, the submersible module also adopts a minimalist design. This module features a rectangular shape, and propeller modules are installed at the four "corners" of the "rectangle". When the drone enters the water, these four propeller modules will extend outward a certain distance through telescopic rods to facilitate the rotation and steering of the modules, allowing the drone to flexibly submerge underwater. Moreover, this product is equipped with high - precision ultrasonic detectors and infrared detectors, which enables the drone to autonomously adapt to various terrains and flexibly shuttle through various complex spaces. In addition, the "Pan Gu" intelligent exploration drone is also equipped with an intelligent AI system. Users only need to issue instructions, and the "Pan Gu" will navigate according to the instructions and project the real - time navigation images onto the user's mobile phone.
