Three soft robotics researchers from Fondazione Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Italy and the University of Montpellier in France have developed a unique snake-like robot that 3D prints its own ...

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has engineered a self-propelled, autonomous robot snake designed to explore extreme extraterrestrial terrain. Its first-of-a-kind propulsion system means it can boldly ...

Despite residing in the frigid outer realm of our solar system where the Sun is just a faraway speck of light, icy moons like Saturn’s Enceladus and Jupiter’s Europa are considered some of the most ...

A snake-shaped robot called EELS is being developed to probe Enceladus’s icy plumes, with the potential discovery of fishlike ...

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory is testing out a snake-like robot that is meant to one day climb into the icy vents of Saturn’s moon Enceladus and take a dip into its subsurface ocean below to look ...

EELS is designed to slide down narrow vents on icy worlds, including Saturn's moons, and search for signs of habitability in their subsurface oceans. reading time 3 minutes A new robot has joined NASA ...

…the spying robot, about two meters long and covered in army camouflage, mimics the movements and appearance of a real snake, slithering around through caves, tunnels, cracks and buildings, sending ...

A repair robot that takes inspiration from the bendiness and sensing ability of snakes to access hard-to-reach places in harsh, industrial environments is now being exploited for use in human surgery.

Great, they’re giving snakes legs now — or, as one science vlogger claimed, giving them their legs “back.” In a recently-uploaded video, creator and self-professed snake lover Allen Pan said that he ...

Version 2.0 of the study will add bunny scent to the stuffed rabbits if motion and heat aren’t enough to fool the pythons in Florida.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University who develop snake-like robots have picked up a few tricks from real sidewinder rattlesnakes on how to make rapid and even sharp turns with their undulating, ...
