Serpentine Robot

A serpentine robot is a type of robotic device designed to move in a flexible, wave-like manner similar to a snake. Its body consists of interconnected segments that can bend and twist, allowing it to navigate through tight spaces, uneven terrains, or complex environments that traditional robots might struggle with. This movement is achieved through coordinated actuation of its joints or segments, enabling it to slither, climb, or maneuver around obstacles efficiently. Serpentine robots are useful in search and rescue, inspection, medical procedures, and exploration tasks where versatility and agility are essential.
