They developed the robot after a seafood dinner in Singapore in 2004 with top Hong Kong surgeon Sydney Chung, who suggested they fashion their device after the crab. Chung is best known for fighting SARS in Hong Kong in 2003.
Chung "suggested we use the crab as a prototype. The crab can pick up sand and its pincers are very strong," said Ho. "Many things are a certain way because they have evolved and adapted to certain functions ...we created something that followed the human anatomy and borrowed ideas from nature and incorporated the two."
The researchers formed a company in October 2011 and hope to make the robot commercially available in three years.
