Shan and Koren built a 7-link snake; its first link had a camera, and 6 motors were installed at the 6 joints to provide forward motion. Shan and Koren were the first to develop a model of how external objects could affect kinematic constraints on the movement of a snake robot in 1993. [24] [25]
A snakebot, also referred to as a snake robot, is a biomorphic robot that resembles a snake. Snakebots have uses similar to those of certain types of soft robots. [1] Snakebots can vary significantly in size and design. Their small cross-section-to-length ratios allow them to maneuver through tight spaces.
Snake-arm robots are also described as continuum robots and elephant's trunk robots although these descriptions are restrictive in their definitions and cannot be applied to all snake-arm robots. A continuum robot is a continuously curving manipulator, much like the arm of an octopus. An elephant's trunk robot is a good descriptor of a ...
Roboboa [1] is a robotic snake produced by WowWee. Roboboa has 4 angled body sections, allowing Roboboa to coil by rotating adjacent sections. A motorized tail roller and casters on the midsection allow Roboboa to move in a straight line.
The majority of snake-like robots use either lateral undulation or rectilinear locomotion and have difficulty climbing vertically. Choset has recently developed a modular robot that can mimic several snake gaits, but it cannot perform concertina motion. [20] Researchers at Georgia Tech have recently developed two snake-like robots called Scalybot.

Exobiology Extant Life Surveyor, (also called EELS) [1] is a snakebot vehicle originally designed to explore the surface and the oceans of Enceladus, a moon of Saturn. [2] The JPL has also referred to the possibility of using EELS to explore locations such as lunar lava tubes, [1] [3] Mars's polar caps, and Earth's ice sheets.
