Israeli defense researchers are working on a robot snake that can sneak through cracks and into buildings to send back sound and video of enemy movements — or even plant explosives.
That’s according to the Jerusalem Post, which cites a news report from Israel’s Channel 2.
A video clip shows the six-foot-long robot, covered in camouflage, winding its way through rocks and tree stumps, its “head” a flat camera lens ringed by LED lights.
The “snake” can also prop up its front sections vertically to peer over obstacles.
It’s remote-controlled by a soldier, who uses a laptop both to guide the robot and to see and hear what it’s feeding back.
The Israel Defense Forces plan to equip combat units with search-and-surveillance models, which could also be useful to find survivors trapped within collapsed buildings.
Future models might be used to plant bombs in enemy facilities.
you guys are so ignorant.everyone finds out about these things. and second of all i am sure that they have a reason for saying.
why r they showing everone so stuped why would someone let ther enemy know there plans?
Why does Israel has to show its new inventions to the public this way the enemy will not have to see their new tactics, it can surprise them when its needed.
why is this being publicized?
wow! that’s amzing!
one up for israel!
