Overview

A snake-like robot designed for search and rescue. The narrow, mobile robot is capable of slithering into tight spaces between blocks of rubble in a collapsed building. It has a light, a camera and a two-way microphone and speaker that allows the human controller to not only see what the snake sees but also communicate with people trapped in rubble. The robot would enter a pile of debris, crawl through the spaces and find people trapped below. A trained dog has been shown capable of carrying the robot into places where humans can't reach, dropping the robot off in the desired location.
