The invention provides an octopus robot for ocean detection. The octopus robot comprises a head part, a tentacle part and suction cup parts. The head part is composed of a hollow hard shell part, a bidirectional propeller driving part, a visual part, a cross steering engine and the like. The tentacle part is composed of eight flexible controllable tentacles, the interior of each tentacle is composed of a plurality of sections of controllable air bag sets, and the tentacles can swing at any angle by controlling the pressure of the air bags. A plurality of suction cup parts are fixed on the surface of each tentacle and used for fixing the tentacle when the tentacle is suspended or static, and the suction cup on each tentacle is controlled by an independent gas circuit. The ocean detection robot is designed according to the body shape of the octopus, and can be used for ocean equipment detection patrol, underwater investigation, ocean environment research, underwater investigation and the like. 本发明提供一种用于海洋检测的章鱼机
