- gamemaster357, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0snakes are awesome
- frem001, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0digg, but i still hate real snakes
- argonlightray, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0very nice
- Grandfinale1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That's all right, don't worry about it. That happens to me all the time. And you are right not the same article.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wow, someone needs to teach that man how to make a webpage.
- egbert, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It is Gavin Miller and not Garvin Miller.
- damonshajen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0o.o Lovely...but uhm...is there a real use for these things?
- everfalling, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0that would be an awsome pet though, a robotic snake. all the pleasure of owning a snake w/o having to feed it live rats. now, if we could get this thing to scale objects or even poles, that would be something worth seeing. the one at http://home.golden.net/~kpwillia/serpentronic.html looks intersting, but i think it'd be better if every segment had a universal joint instead of the clunky every other joint being either vertical or horizontal.
- alexanEmpire, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Will these snakes be on a plane?
- george@CASE, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That robot snake moved more fluidly than I expected. :)
- coachace, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0“Snakes! Why Did It Have to Be SNAKES!”
- dirt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Looks like a Positronics design. Something you might see on the way to the dark tower.
- HakBot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Damonshajen, search and rescue.
- drbroccoli, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"endoscopy"
I don't even want to think about that. - a1lostnomad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That is simply badass. I can imagine hundreds of uses... picture a swarm of robotic Sidewinders invading Iraqi cities and searching for bad guys.
- piesforyou, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0endoscopy
- CanuckPlumber, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0A plumbers dream...Imagine a camera on the end. Dugg.
- StarCrusher, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"is there a real use for these things?"
You've got to be kidding! A better understanding of ways to effortlessly and fluidly move a machine under its own power? You can't see a real use for this? - tablatronix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I remember seeing a show ( discovery channel ? ) about using snake arm robots to perform maintenance in reactor cores.
probably these guys.
http://www.ocrobotics.com/ - onecog2many, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hmmm... it's got wheels and the segments only seem to move along one plane. I think the design at http://home.golden.net/~kpwillia/serpentronic.html has more potential.
- dazmax, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Did anyone read the poem he wrote about snakes?
- oldcyborg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Odd fellow.... and I'm not talking about the snake thing... Did you see the picture of him on his honeymoon, with the snake??? Looked just like Hannibal Lector to me... Scary.....
Big snakes. The one with him on the floor, was much longer than he.....
Good Luck Hannibal...
Cyborg
ok - octiron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sorry, it did not come up in the duplicate story list. Not the same article, but covering the same information
- JamesWilson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0dude its got to have cameras on it..and bluetooth..that would own. :)
- TomJ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0spooky . . . and the endoscopy comment is just wrong.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Looks cool.
- Zonkzor, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Snakes have to be amazing hard to build a copy of. I see real ones and still can't figure out how they do it. I remember hearing about this on the old Slashdot internet radio show 5 years ago called Geeks and Space. God I miss that show.
