Snakebot

Snakebot – a robot that is capable of moving and changing its shape like a snake.

Unlike the traditional robots, snakebots can easily enter tight spaces, climb stairs or wrap their bodies around tree trunks.

This helps them to gain access to places which humans and other machines cannot reach.

Snakebots are being developed by NASA for space exploration because they can burrow into depths that the ordinary robotic probe cannot reach.

They can also easily navigate difficult terrain where a robot on wheels would get stuck or topple over.
