Divers have long been limited by human ability to maneuver in
fast-moving currents. That’s where the Crabster comes in. The
six-legged, 1,500-pound mechanical underwater robot is ready to help
scientists explore previously unreachable sea beds. It stabilizes itself
by putting its head down, its rear up, and facing the water flow, and
can dive as deep as 660 feet. It also comes equipped with 11 cameras,
sonar, and an acoustic Doppler current profiler to send information back
to the surface.
