Exploding Robot SnakeCam

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Wednesday, 10 of June , 2009 at 4:07 am

We’ve seen our share of robot snakes, but as far as I can remember, this is the first one that can blow itself up. Oh, it’s designed to do plenty of other things too… The Israelis have developed it primarily for surveillance. The two meter long, camo covered bot sends back audio and video, and can lift itself up to get a better look around. It looks quite mobile, if a little spazzy, but I bet you’d be spazzy too if you were packed with explosives in case you end up crawling underneath a target that’s more valuable than you are. Yeah, I’d rather take a bath with one of these than find an exploding robosnake under my bed.
