Snake robots come in many shapes and sizes, from as long as four stories (earthquake SnakeBot developed by SINTEF [1]) to a medical SnakeBot developed at Carnegie Mellon University that is thin enough to maneuver around organs inside a human chest cavity. The SnakeBot, also known as a snake robot, is a biomorphic hyper-redundant robot that resembles a biological snake. This orange snake, which moves like a real snake and has realistic eyeballs, plus a tongue which flicks in and out, is ideal for little ones who love the animal kingdom. Scientists observed how snakes moved and used this information to make a robot that can climb large steps in a nimble and stable fashion.

But for those of you who appreciate snakes for the critters they truly are, this awesome Robo Snake, in a choice of scarlet or green, might be just the fella you’re after.A SnakeBot is different from a snake-arm robot in that the SnakeBot robot types are usually more self-contained, where a snake-arm robot usually has remote mechanicals from the arm itself, possibly connected to a larger system. Snakebots are used in situations where their characteristics give them an advantage over their environment. It is hoped that the robots may some day help to explore inaccessible terrain, such as rubble after an earthquake. This redundancy can make them resistant to failure because they can continue to operate even if parts of their body are destroyed. Modelled after genuine snake movements, this Robo Snake slithers along the ground like a real snake, has a brilliant realistic tongue-flick motion and even has awesome eye movement - all designed to add a layer of the almost-uncanny to this robotic marvel of a snake.

These snakes have to regularly travel across boulders and fallen trees – they’re the masters of movement and there’s much we can learn from them,” he said. Implementing this control scheme in a SnakeBot capable of sidewinding allowed the robot to replicate the success of the snakes. Please remove or replace such wording and instead of making proclamations about a subject's importance, use facts and attribution to demonstrate that importance. They say that compared to robot snakes from other studies, their creation is more stable than all but one, and came close to matching a real snake’s speed.Though SnakeBots can very greatly in size and design, there are two qualities that all SnakeBot share. But the body suspension system – needed to keep the robot stable on large steps – means the robot uses more electricity. When a task requires several different obstacles to be overcome, the locomotive flexibility of SnakeBots potentially offers an advantage.
