Here’s the coolest thing you’ll see this morning. It’s a robotic snake created by Carnegie Mellon. It can climb through small holes, up pipes, and even twirl itself around poles to climb. It comes in a waterproof, wireless version as well for those times when you want to scare everyone out of the pool. CrunchGear is at RoboBusiness 2008 in Pittsburgh today so drop in and see what’s new in commercial robotics.
