The first underwater test was conducted from 24
June to 10 July 2013 at pier in South Sea Research Institute of KIOST which is
located in the Geoje City.
In the test, we successfully checked and
verified 1) the watertight of dynamic seals of thirty joints, 2) identification
of topography and underwater structures with scanning sonar and analyze the
effect of posture changing on the scanning image, 3) real-time identification
of objects with acoustic and optical cameras, 4) underwater position tracking
of CR200, 5) gathering the scientific data, 6) underwater walking and posture
control with six-legs.
And we are performing the on-land shop tests
nearly every day. We upgrade Crabster software for more stable and fast walking
and manipulation. We revise the hardware mechanisms for more stable and robust
functions
The Crabster did very well in the tests until
now. It is very exciting to see a newly developed creature works as our will.
