The snake robot form factor has existed for decades. In addition to the diversity it adds to the world of automation, the design has several pragmatic attributes. The first is redundancy, which allows ...

Danish scientists have developed an origami snake robot that could one day search for survivors at disaster sites, or even explore other planets. The device moves via rectilinear locomotion, just like ...

Researchers explore the lift production mechanism of flying snakes, which undulate side-to-side as they move from the tops of trees to the ground to escape predators or to move around quickly and ...

Three soft robotics researchers from Fondazione Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Italy and the University of Montpellier in France have developed a unique snake-like robot that 3D prints its own ...

Inspired by nature’s simplest creatures, an innovative robotic duo combines tiny, insect-like robots with inflatable, vine-like robots that grow and curl like snakes. The innovation named mCLARI, ...

A tunable initial coiling structure soft robot (ICSBot) has been developed by combining theoretical calculations, finite element analysis, and direct ink writing technology. By mimicking the ...

What’s that peeking around the corner, telescoping straight out of your nightmares? Why, it’s none other than OC Robotics’ new snake-armed robot here to lend a coiling appendage! Hey there, not-at-all ...
