More Snakebots

Okay.  I know that I am obsessed with snake robots.  This article from technovelgy.com and Science Fiction in the News just grabbed me like a python and wouldn’t let go.  You have to see all the moves this snake has.  Look at Carnegie Mellon’s Biorobotics Laboratory site and watch the videos.  Besides swimming and wrapping around a horizontal pipe, this baby can climb a pole.  See the thumbnail below and follow the link for the larger photos on the website.
