Chu Yichen, a doctoral student at Northeastern University, noticed in a social practice that bio-robots can play a huge role in fishery and aquaculture industry, so he founded a bionic intelligence laboratory at school in 2021 and led the team to constantly develop and iterate products in the field of underwater bionic robots.

In November 2023, Chu founded Lindong Bionic technology co., ltd. The low-drive bionic robot matrix and intelligent breeding management platform developed by the company have been applied in Dalian, Huludao, etc, northeast China's Liaoning Province, to promote the quality and efficiency of local fishery and aquaculture industry.
