More Than Just a Résumé

The Industrial Foundation: Mastering Heavy Equipment 
Wang Bo’s journey began not in robotics, but in the demanding world of heavy industrial manufacturing. At Yunnan Fuda Machinery, he was responsible for technical management and market development for special equipment supplied to state-owned giants like China State Shipbuilding. This role was a crucible, teaching him the entire process of high-end equipment development—from R&D and precision machining to supply chain management and final delivery. He didn’t just learn the technology; he learned how to manage complex client relationships, navigate long-term procurement cycles, and ensure that sophisticated hardware performed reliably in the field. This experience gave him a deep, practical understanding of what it takes to build and deliver robust industrial-grade machinery.
 
The Market Explorer: Finding the Underwater Niche 
Armed with his industrial expertise, Wang Bo spent over two years systematically exploring the underwater robotics landscape. Instead of starting with a technology and searching for a problem, he did the opposite. He visited major ports, shipyards, and design institutes, immersing himself in the operational pain points of the maritime industry. It was during this period of deep listening that he identified his target: the inefficient, labor-intensive, and often hazardous process of manual ship hull cleaning. He saw a clear market need for an automated, intelligent solution, and this insight became the foundational blueprint for Sealand Technology.
 
The Solution Builder: Assembling the Sealand Ecosystem 
As the founder of Sealand, Wang Bo’s primary role has been that of a resource integrator and problem-solver. He built the company around a core mission: to create a complete “hardware + algorithm + service” solution for underwater cleaning. This required more than just technical R&D. He forged a unique collaborative ecosystem, bringing together specialized SMEs from Shenzhen, the industrial might of state-owned enterprises like China State Shipbuilding Group (institutes 701 and 705), and the research power of universities. By translating the needs of the market for his technical team and the capabilities of his team for his commercial partners, he successfully navigated five prototype iterations and secured entry into the European market, proving his model of building a business by solving a single, well-defined problem.

With a Master's in Management rather than a traditional engineering degree, Wang Bo brings a unique perspective to the world of hardware. He sees technology not as an end in itself, but as a component within a larger commercial system. His work is defined by a relentless focus on market application, a willingness to break from traditional technical paths, and an ability to build bridges between disparate industries. At Sealand, he isn’t just building robots; he is building a practical, scalable solution to a global maritime challenge.
