To address issues encountered by underwater robots during operations, such as damage or reduced efficiency due to complex underwater terrains and strong water currents, a robot inspired by the adaptability of crabs to various terrains has been designed. This robot employs a crab-like structure equipped with anti-displacement legs and utilizes superconducting magnetic fluid propulsion and sacrificial anode inspection devices. This article mainly analyzes the parts mentioned of the robot, demonstrating that the robot can reduce underwater operation costs and improve underwater working efficiency. The design aims to assist in the mid to late stages of oil and gas development exploration and maintenance, providing new guidance and recommendations for the laying, inspection, and maintenance of oil and gas pipelines.
