More Robot Snakes Slither Into Reality
June 27th, 2008
Norwegian research company, the Sintef Group recently announced that they’ve been working on their own robotic serpents. It doesn’t look as cool as Japan’s latest creepy crawly, but that’s not the point. The point is that the sooner we create completely lifelike robot serpents, the sooner they can inject us with robot made venom. But I’m getting ahead of myself. These robots are designed to slither down complex networks of industrial piping systems where Mario and Luigi won’t go, in order to clear the residue or to repair the broken patches. The snakes are made of aluminum and are 1.5 meters long, lightweight and flexible, so they can slither up even to high altitudes. They can also submerge themselves under fluid. And by fluid, I mean your biological waste included.
