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.
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.
The Eelume is primarily designed to inspect, maintain and repair subsea infrastructure, primarily for offshore drilling installations. [2] [3] It may also have military applications, including for mine countermeasures and undersea surveillance.
Tech expert Kurt “CyberGuy" Knutsson discusses how MAB Robotics' Honey Badger 4.0, a versatile robot, now walks underwater with amphibious skills.

This is another one of those weeks where investment activity really spanned the entire range of robotics. Following its recent FDA authorization (a huge step for any medical robotics company), the ...
Robot locomotion is the collective name for the various methods that robots use to transport themselves from place to place. Wheeled robots are typically quite energy efficient and simple to control. However, other forms of locomotion may be more appropriate for a number of reasons, for example traversing rough terrain, as well as moving and ...
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.
