Experts from Kyoto University have created a snake-shaped robot. By WIONcan climb stairs and run through drain pipes.
The robot is reportedly developed in partnership with mechanics from France.
Scientists suggest that the development will be used in case of natural disasters – the robot will be able to enter places that are difficult to reach for humans, as well as other places where long-term human presence can be dangerous. For example, in nuclear power plants.
“Robots are an important part of our low-carbon fusion project and we need to learn how to remotely control such machines. This is because they will be used to service fusion power plants,” says engineer Tristan Tremetic.
