Robot Snake

Israel has developed what is best described as a battlefield robot snake. The roughly six-foot robot contorts its form in the same way a real snake would to move. Its primary use seems to be serviceable with a high resolution wireless infrared camera. It is a long device but because of its shape and method of locomotion it can fit and maneuver into places other surveillance bots could not. Like any other bot, you could strap explosives on it, but that does not seem the main purpose of this.
