It moves flexibly and efficiently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.futurity.org\/growing-robot-1489982\/\">through narrow spaces<\/a> such as pipes or sewers and combs through debris in the wake of catastrophes.<\/p>\n<p>Its soft and pneumatic design make the snake-like robot safe for use by people and in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.futurity.org\/rescue-robots-path-planning-algorithm-2614772-2\/\">dangerous environments<\/a> where there is a danger of explosion and sparks must be avoided.<\/p>\n<p>RoBoa can currently extend up to a length of 100 meters (about 328 feet).<\/p>\n<p>The robot is also equipped with a speaker and microphone to allow direct communication with victims in the case of emergency.<\/p>\n<p>RoBoa was originally developed as part of a student focus project. Thanks to a Pioneer Fellowship, it is now close to market launch and could have a major impact on inspection and search and rescue operations.<\/p>\n<p>The cofounders of RoBoa will be presenting insights into their research work at the ETH booth at ETH Industry Day @ Open-i.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ethz.ch\/en\/news-and-events\/eth-news\/news\/2024\/11\/the-snake-that-saves-lives.html\">ETH Zurich<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Engineers have developed a snake-like robot with the ability to grow in length and slither [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8362,"featured_media":3257562,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,3],"tags":[6753],"class_list":["post-3257492","post","type-post","status-publish","format-video","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-science-technology","tag-robots","post_format-post-format-video","university-eth-zurich"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.8 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
