The invention discloses an underwater robot propulsion system. The underwater robot propulsion system comprises two horizontal propulsion modules and two inclined propulsion modules, wherein the two horizontal propulsion modules are symmetrically arranged on the two sides of a robot main cabin in parallel; the two inclined propulsion modules are embedded into the two sides of the middle part of the robot main cabin in the form of V shape in a crossed way within a plane vertical to the axis of the robot main cabin; the horizontal propulsion modules and the inclined propulsion modules all use propeller propulsion modules; the propeller propulsion modules comprise motors and sealed cabins; output shafts of the motors are connected with driven shafts through disc type magnet couplings; and propellers are mounted on the driven shafts. According to the invention, motion capacity of 5 degrees of freedom can be provided to a robot and the flexibility of the robot is improved; as the propeller propulsion modules use the disc type magnet couplings, the axial length of the system can be effectively reduced so that the structure of the underwater robot propulsion system is compact and stable and the underwater robot propulsion system is convenient to machine.
