Boston Dynamics demonstrates the incredible, but to fully understand how we can create roboclones of humans and animals, it is worth recalling that in the 21st century, no one really knows a simple thing: how a snake moves. This morning, I was curious to find out the details – I scoured through scientific publications on the topic. The closest and most plausible explanation is different friction coefficients of the scales, wave-like weight transfer. But this doesn’t help in making a robosnake. It’s interesting how soon we will reach the prototype stage.
