Scandinavian Scientists Designing Robotic Snakes

Cowards Anonymous writes "The Sintef Group, a research company based in Trondheim, Norway, announced that it's designing a robot based on snakes. The 1.5-meter long robots, which are made of aluminum, are being designed to inspect and clean complicated industrial pipe systems that are typically narrow and inaccessible to humans. The intelligent robots have multiple joints to enable them to twist vertically and climb up through pipe systems to locate leaks in water systems, inspect oil and gas pipelines and clean ventilation systems."

No! I will not do it! I WILL NOT DO IT!!! Somehow, some way, I shall find the moral strength not to succumb.

I WILL NOT denigrate this incredible technology with a cheap, sleazy joke about Pr0n v2.0.
