“When Bong-Huan Jun first saw news of South Korea’s Sewol ferry sinking with hundreds of high school students trapped on board, he had stopped by a highway service area on his way to work. But unlike many South Koreans helplessly watching the live broadcast on TV, Jun knew he had something that could help out—an experimental underwater robot named Crabster.”
