  • Patent number: 11939034
    Abstract: A deep-sea crawling robot and a crawling method thereof are provided. The deep-sea crawling robot includes a crawling robot body and a countertop, wherein a top of the crawling robot body is fixedly connected to the countertop, left and right sides of a bottom of the crawling robot body are respectively provided with crawler belts, and left and right sides of the countertop are respectively provided with weight-increasing auxiliary crawling mechanisms; and an outer plate is fixedly connected to a front side or back side of the countertop, a multifunctional propelling mechanism is arranged on the outer plate, and a rapid dewatering mechanism is arranged in a chamber of the countertop. The deep-sea crawling robot can not only accelerate the propulsion and crawling speed when it is on the seabed but also further enhance its stability during the crawling process on the seabed.
