Adelaide - Scientists have developed a robot snake that is capable of crawling and climbing objects just like a real snake. Like what?

Reporting from dailymail, Biorobotics Lab at Carnegie Mellon University recently showcased RoboSnake, they made ​​a snake robot that can perch on the board in writing or in a tree.

But why is the snake? The experts argue, snakes are top predators with sophisticated movement mechanism, allowing it pass through varied terrain without difficulty. And one of the most remarkable species is Snake Derik.

"The snake is an animal champion to move in a variety of complex terrain," said Marvi, one of the researchers.

SideWinder rattlesnakes can pass through the sand movement 'menyampingnya', this method is limited solutions legged or wheeled robot movement.

Snake design makes RoboSnake able to pass through narrow places inaccessible by ordinary machines.

This robot is projected to be very useful in the operation of search-and-rescue, rescue after the earthquake, archeology, until the nuclear power plants.

Before starting the design, the research team first studied the species of rattlesnakes (Crotalus Cerastes), intensively at Zoo Atlanta.

The scientists put the sand in different heights and assisted with high-speed video camera.

In addition, the scientists also found that the snake also through the dunes is easy, because it will minimize the surface pressure using body movements like waves.
