A team lead by Charlie Brinson have decided to create a robotic replica of Titanoboa, a humungous snake that apparently slithered its way across the land millions of years ago. Not only is this replica 50 feet long (and weighs a ton), but has also been programmed to writhe around in a snake-like fashion using hydraulics. Eventually, someone will sit astride and control this mechanical beast while the rest of us look on in awe–which we should, because the team want to see if the way a snake moves could be replicated within modes of transport, prompting new designs within technology and construction. Visit the robotic snake’s website to see its moves. [...] [...] If you are not a fan of snakes, you may want to stop reading now.
