Sep 27, 2017 · Carnegie Mellon University researchers last week deployed a snake-like robot to search for trapped survivors in a Mexico City apartment building that collapsed in the 7.1-magnitude earthquake that shook the city Sept. 19.

Apr 13, 2021 · Carnegie Mellon University's acclaimed snake-like robot can now slither its way underwater, allowing the modular robotics platform to inspect ships, submarines and infrastructure for damage.

Aug 21, 2023 · Our Re-United (ReU) snake provides modular communication using Ethernet communicatio, our series elastic actuated snake compliantly responds to obstacles and adds another layer of safety to operators, and our large-scale R-snake robot uses waterproof actuators enabling it to go underwater.

We call our robots Modsnakes because they have a modular, i.e. repeating, structure of the same element. Each module has a single rotational degree of freedom and when chained together, form the snake robot.

Oct 13, 2017 · A few days after a 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck Mexico City last month, Carnegie Mellon University roboticists were contacted to see if their snake robots could help with search-and-rescue efforts.

Nov 18, 2024 · The snake robot, developed in CMU's Biorobotics Lab, can configure its body to move in various spaces and use its camera vision cyclops eye to look around. It can even crawl up a person's...

Modular Snake Snake robots can use their many internal degrees of freedom to thread through tightly packed volumes accessing locations that people and machinery otherwise cannot use.

Oct 3, 2017 · Carnegie Mellon University researchers last week deployed a snake-like robot to search for trapped survivors in a Mexico City apartment building that collapsed in the 7.1-magnitude earthquake that shook the city Sept. 19.

Aug 18, 2023 · Snake robots can use their many internal degrees of freedom to thread through tightly packed volumes accessing locations that people and machinery otherwise cannot use. Moreover, these highly articulated devices can coordinate their internal degrees of freedom to perform a variety of locomotion capabilities that go beyond the capabilities of ...
