Abstract - The Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute (KORDI) has launched a new project for development of a new concept seabed walking robot. Newly developing robot will move underwater by walking and flying on the seabed with multiple articulated legs. The seabed robot was named 'crabster' as the concept of the robot is similar to the crab and lobster. The crabster-development-project consists of two stages each of which has three years. The aim of first stage is to develop a 200m-class coastal-seabed-robot the missions of which are survey of shipwreck and scientific research in coastal area. The focus of development is on the working technologies in high tidal current and low visibility environment. This paper enumerates the limitations of existing works in high current and  turbidity environment, and presents the requirement analysis and development strategy of seabed robot CR200.
