Police investigations could be assisted by not having to wait for limited licenced divers to find a body or other evidence. This design seems much faster than the conventional, clunky propellor driven aquatic robots. A few of them could search an area efficiently and the police could wait and call in the divers when something needing careful retrieval is found. Same goes for inspecting underwater structures. Espionage agencies could swim the thing up a small stream in a hostile country, slither it up a boat ramp and drop a payload at a prearranged spot if sufficient energy capacity can be achieved.

The movement of this robot-snake are so realistic. Creepy but so cool.

It works, in my opinion, much better in the water than it did on the ground.

the added factor that any of those could become the head is just crazy.

I want one.
