    Snakebots: Flexible Robots

                      Snakebots  are robots  that  are designed  to  move  like  snakes.  They are made  up  of multiple
                      segments that can bend and twist, giving them incredible flexibility. This unique design allows
                      snakebots to fit into narrow spaces and perform tasks that require precision.
                      Some examples of snakebots are:

                                                        1.  Modular Snakebots: These snake-like robots are made of
                                                            separate and interchangeable parts. This allows them to be
                                                            rearranged and customised for different tasks. For example,
                                                            they  can be adjusted  to  fit the specific  requirements  of a
                                                            mission, whether it’s exploring confined spaces or performing
                                                            delicate operations.

                      2.  Soft Snakebots: Soft  snakebots  are made  from flexible
                         materials,  that  allow them  to  bend  and  move  smoothly
                         through complicated environments. These robots can slither
                         through confined areas, such as pipes, tunnels, or cracks in
                         structures, where most other robots cannot reach.

                      Some advantages of snakebots are:
                         Flexibility: They can move in many directions, making them ideal for narrow spaces.

                         Precision: They can perform tasks like surgery with great care.
                         Adaptability: Can be adjusted for various tasks.

                           Propose a hybrid robotic system combining characteristics of snakebots and insectbots for search
                           and rescue operations.

                      Industrial Robots: Large Robots for Factories

                      Industrial  robots  are  large, programmable  machines  designed  to  perform  specific  tasks  in
                      factories,  such as assembly,  welding and packaging.  These robots  are built  to  be  fast and

                      precise, making them perfect for work in industries where high speed, consistency and accuracy
                      are critical.

                      Some examples of industrial robots are:

                                               1.  KUKA Robots: KUKA robots are used in automotive manufacturing
                                                   plants.  They  are  primarily  responsible  for assembling  vehicle

                                                   components and performing automated welding operations. These
                                                   robots are incredibly precise, ensuring that car parts are put together
                                                   quickly and correctly.
