A Robot Crab to Clean the Ocean - ASME
2019年9月24日 · “Traditional robots move the sand…the filter can’t be placed properly,” said Calisti. For Silver 2, the task of plunging 100 yards, placing a filter and returning to the surface is a cinch. Similarly, the robostacean can easily settle upside-down on an underwater pipe for a long inspection, or on coral to monitor life without damaging it.
