SNAKE ROBOT

Problem Summary
The utilization of autonomous intelligent roots in search and rescue (SAR) is
a new and challenging field of Robotics dealing with the task in extremely
hazardous and complex disaster environments. Intelligent, biologically inspired
mobile robots and in particular serpentine mechanisms have turned out to Widely
used robot effective, immediate and reliable responses to many SAR operations.
This robot can also be used for spying purpose.

Detailed Description
High mobility, robustness etc are design issues of rescue robots equipped
with various devices such as devices having ability to learn from previous rescue,
devices adaptable to variable types of working conditions. Looking to the future,
intelligent biologically inspired mobile robots, i.e. serpentine mechanisms are
widely used robots in the field of SAR operations.
Recent natural disasters and man-made catastrophes have focused attention
on the area of emergency management and rescue. These experiences have
shown that most governments emergency responses are generally inadequate
in dealing with disasters.
Considering the large number of people died due to reactive, spontaneous
and unprofessional rescue efforts research have naturally been developing
mechatronic tools and planning techniques for research operation.

 This factor lead to the development of rescue robots for human assistances
in any phase of rescue operations which may vary from country to
country(different type of disaster, different regional policies).
The main aspects of rescue robots are detection and identification of living
bodies with the help of most modern mechatronic tools.
Such robots can reach to the rubble, look for the living human body using
thermal sensors, can capture the pictures of surroundings and send it to the
user.

Detection and identification of livings bodies using modern tools. Sensors are used to
detect the bodies.

This kind of robot can also be used for spying purpose.

The recent Mumbai Attacks demanded such kind of device.

Such a robot can be sent to inaccessible places to look for hostages. It can save as an aid to
rescue missions. Rather than the soldiers themselves going to fatal areas, a robot can be sent to
monitor the situation.
It can save
