Artificial Snakeskin Helps Robots Get Their Slither On

Snakes have got to be some of the most creatively mobile animals ever evolved. They can squeeze into very small holes. Some of them can even fly, a little bit. And all of this despite looking like a lizard that's missing 100 percent of the limbs that it's supposed to have. Roboticists have been working on snake robots for a long time, primarily with a focus on versatile mobility in constrained spaces.
