The Hirose Fukushima Robotics lab developed an amphibious snake-like robot named “ACM-R5” that can maneuver both on ground and in water surging its long body. It can form a smooth shape due to this joint composition, and it is essential for efficient locomotion. The ACM-R5 is set with paddles and passive wheels around the body to attain that nature both in water and on ground.

| I want one of these!! That is stunning. Engineers are looking more and more to solutions that exist in nature, but this is an increadable example which looks like they have been able to accurately mimic the movements of a snake. It seems so much more manouverable than the typical underwater robots. |
