About
Se-Hoon Baek is a pioneering researcher in underwater robotics, with a primary focus on bio-inspired multi-legged locomotion systems for seabed exploration. His most notable contribution is the development and testing of the Crabster (CR200), a multi-legged underwater robot designed to operate in extreme marine environments characterized by strong tidal currents and turbid waters. Baek’s early work, including the highly cited preliminary water tank test of the Crabster (2015, 10 citations), laid the foundation for deploying this innovative robot in challenging real-world scenarios, such as marine archaeological excavations off the west coast of Korea. This research addresses critical limitations of traditional propeller-driven underwater vehicles, offering a stable, legged alternative for precise seabed maneuvering. Baek’s achievements demonstrate a unique blend of mechanical engineering, control systems, and field robotics, making him a key figure in advancing underwater exploration technology. His work continues to inspire new approaches to deep-sea and coastal robotics, with significant implications for marine science, archaeology, and offshore industry.
