Скачать или смотреть The Snake that Saves Lives

RoBoa, developed in the Autonomous Systems Lab at ETH, moves flexibly and efficiently through narrow spaces such as pipes or channels or searches through rubble for disasters. Its soft materials and the use of compressed air make the snake-like robot safe - for contact with people, but also for dangerous environments with a risk of explosion, where sparks must be avoided. RoBoa can currently reach a length of up to 100 meters. RoBoa is also equipped with a microphone and loudspeakers to enable direct communication in emergency situations. Originally developed as part of a student focus project, RoBoa is now about to be launched on the market thanks to a Pioneer Fellowship and could have a decisive impact on inspection and rescue operations in the future.
