The Crab Light platform is a robotic system designed to perform various vessel maintenance tasks underwater with the lightweight equipment (up to 1,000 kg), even in the harshest environments.

The Crab robot operates on any large steel magnetic surface, securing itself with magnets on its six legs. It moves along the vessel’s hull both above and below the waterline, reaching depths of up to 150 meters.

Advantages

• Withstands harsh environmental conditions, including wind, currents, and waves
• Reliably attaches to structures using magnets (3,000 kg force attachement)
• Has a payload capacity of 1,000 kg
• Operates effectively in rough conditions, including emergency response scenarios
• Functions on vessel hulls, fixed steel platforms, and jack-up rigs
