ACM-R5


Inventor: H. Yamada, S. Chigisaki, M. Mori, K. Takita, K. Ogami, S. Hirose
Institute: Hirose Fukushima Robotics Lab
Timeline: 2005 - current
Structure: Snake
Mobility: Swim and Slithering

ACM-R5 was developed for the purpose of performing search and rescue missions. In water, the snake-bot move very fast. However on land, the movement looks like it requires a wheel rather than a real snake movement. Nevertheless it's a small step for a great invention. ACM-R5 would be much better if:-
- Snake-bot would be much useful if the size could be much smaller like a real snake size which can move through tiny holes.
- This robot would be like a real snake if it can move on land through a real slithering and a strong body
- Best if build with more sensors like heat sensor, strong hearing, night sensors, radio frequency sensor, etc
- ACM-R5 can be enhance further if can "swallow" a human with elastic strong body during disaster to protect and bring the human back to safe ground. And perhaps to protect a human in it's strong body from radiation disaster.
