# Giant Robotic Cobras The Titanoboa is a 50 Foot Mechanical Snake By Gil Cohen | Published 2013-01-15 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mechanical-snake References: [chipchick](http://www.chipchick.com/2013/01/50-foot-mechanical-snake-ces.html) & [titanoboa](http://www.titanoboa.ca/) Even if you are deathly afraid of snakes, the 50-foot mechanical snake named Titanoboa will make all of its real-life slithering counterparts seem no more impressive than the average earthworm. Designed and brought to life by the creative team at eatART, the [giant constrictor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glowaconstrictor) was created to draw attention to climate change and get people talking about it again. This robotic snake is made up of 30 aluminium vertebrae and uses multiple Arduino controllers, along with coding written on [Lenovo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/AI-native-laptops) computers, so that it can coil and slither around on its own, with the same type of movements that are seen in real snakes. Already debuted at [Burning Man](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whomadewho), the eatART team plant to take the Titanobia 50 foot mechanical snake on a tour to different festivals throughout the year. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Giant Robotic Animals:** The creation of giant robotic animals for promotional and educational purposes presents opportunities for innovative experiences and engagement. - **Climate Change Awareness:** Using immersive and attention-grabbing installations like the Titanoboa can help generate discussions and raise awareness about important environmental issues. - **Advancements in Robotic Engineering:** The development of large-scale robotic creatures demonstrates the potential for further advancements in the field of robotic engineering, with applications ranging from entertainment to industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Robotics:** The concept of giant robotic cobras can disrupt the robotics industry by encouraging the creation of more lifelike and interactive robot designs. - **Event Marketing:** The use of giant robotic animals in festivals and events presents an opportunity for event marketers to create memorable and unique experiences for attendees. - **Environmental Activism:** Incorporating innovative installations like the Titanoboa can revolutionize the way environmental organizations raise awareness and advocate for climate change action. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Maneuverable Centipede Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/centipede-robot.md) - [Anime Robot Replica Statues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/59foottall-gundam.md) - [Snake-Resembling Sculptural Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chuzhi.md) - [Snake-Inspired Pizza Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snake-ring-pizza.md) - [Snake-Inspired Keyboard Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keyboard-design1.md) - [Flame-Throwing Robotic Dogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thermonator.md) - [Auto-Transforming Toy Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grimlock.md) - [Innovative Robotic Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engineai-robotics.md) - [Motor-Driven Jumping Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elastic-band-robot.md)
