CRABI Hull-Cleaning Robot

CRABI Hull-Cleaning Robot is an autonomous marine system for grooming and inspecting commercial vessel hulls while the ship remains in service. Its name expands to Crud Removal Autonomous Brushing Instrument. The operating concept pairs frequent brushing that removes early biofouling with recurring measurements and inspection reports about the underwater hull surface.

CRABI Robotics positions the system for in-transit maintenance without taking a vessel off hire or arranging a port-specific cleaning visit. Gentle, high-frequency grooming is intended to preserve hull coatings while limiting the growth that increases hydrodynamic resistance. The company has not published dimensions, endurance, travel speed or cleaning-rate specifications on its current product page, so the record retains the demonstrated cleaning-and-inspection boundary without introducing unsupported performance values.
