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 (JPL) has created a self-propelled, autonomous robot snake designed to explore extreme extraterrestrial terrain. Its first-of-a-kind propulsion system means it can ...

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 ...

Is there life outside of Earth? A new snake-like robot could be the one to find out. The Exobiology Extant Life Surveyor (EELS) is being developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory for a space ...

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 ...

The snake robot form factor has existed for decades. In addition to the diversity it adds to the world of automation, the design has several pragmatic attributes. The first is redundancy, which allows ...

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

A snake is set to slither its way to Saturn's moon! In collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University's Robotic Institute, a team of roboticists at the California Institute of Technology's Jet ...

We’ve been following the development of Carnegie Mellon’s robotic snake for some time now. And as much as it’s a brilliant piece of technology, it’s also downright scary how realistically it can ...

Robots that move across both land and water are potentially very useful, but they also tend to be complex and rather slow. A new bio-inspired amphibious bot, however, utilizes a relatively simple ...
