Carnegie Mellon University has developed a snake-like robot that can work underwater, making it a tool that could prove beneficial for inspecting boats and underwater infrastructure and completing other tasks. A team from CMU’s School of Computer Science’s Robotics Institute’s Biorobotics Lab tested the Hardened Underwater Modular Robot Snake (HUMRS) last month in the university’s pool. The robot dove through underwater hoops, showcasing its precise and smooth swimming abilities and demonstrating its ease of control.
