Modular Snake Robots

Snake robots can use their many internal degrees of freedom to thread through tightly packed volumes accessing locations that people and machinery otherwise cannot use. Moreover, these highly articulated devices can coordinate their internal degrees of freedom to perform a variety of locomotion capabilities that go beyond the capabilities of conventional wheeled and the recently developed legged robots. The true power of these devices is that they are versatile, achieving behaviors limited to crawling, climbing, and swimming.

Holy Jesus on a stick! If one of these started to grapple up my legs, I'll scream like a little girl! Oh shit, my balls aren't safe, man.

Wow! impressive movements. I could do without the soundtrack. I think it detracts from the movie.

Incredible engineering.

PS. I can just imagine these robotic snakes on a MF'n plane!
