Amphibious ACM-R5 Robot Snake (Video)

Developed by the Hirose Fukushima Lab (Japan), that “snake” is quite interesting to watch when it moves underwater. It needs water resistance to propel itself. It can additionally move on firm ground, but I suspect that the fins form it a lot more efficient in a liquid. Each section of the ACRM-R5 has its own micro-processor, motor and battery and knows where it is in the overall body, by counting how many siblings separate it from the head, which is

strange. That might mean that the snake could be very towering, but most importantly, researchers can easily replace a body part. Watch the video in the full post.
