CMU SNAKE ROBOT CLIMBS A TREE

CMU SNAKE ROBOT CLIMBS A TREE


     Carnegie mellon university, a university in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 1900 made an amazing snake bio-robot in their bio-robotics laboratory some years ago. It is in the video beside this post.
      Carnegie mellon has taught "uncle sam" (as named by them) how to climb trees. Uncle sam is a robotic snake built from modular pieces. Uncle sam can move in a variety of ways including rolling, wiggling and side-winding. It can also wrap itself around a pole and climb it vertically upward and downward. You have to see this in action (the video above), there is something life-like in it just like a real life snake as it scale trees upward and downward outdoors. Not only that, when uncle sam scales a tree and it reaches the top, it even looks all around with it's 'eye' camera. Projects like uncle sam projects the image of how life-mimmicking robots would revolutionize the future of technology world.
