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.

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.
