RE: How Are Snakes Able To Move In A Straight Line? (And What Can We Learn From It?)

This is extremely interesting. These type of robots would have quite some advantage over Boston Dynamic’s four leg doggy ones.

As far as navigating tight spaces and scouting/reconnaissance, the snake definitely has the advantage. However I think the dog-bots fill their own niche as basically pack-horses for troops, carrying extra ammo and supplies. It's amazing the inspiration they take from animals isn't it?

That's true! They probably would have different usage. Dog-bots for carrying and snake-bots for spying or rescue missions....
