Overview
The ACM-R5H is a snake robot designed to perform underwater inspections and search-and-rescue missions in hazardous environments. It features an amphibious design resistant to dust and liquids with a modular configuration that allows segments to be easily added or removed. The robot is fully waterproof, skillful swimmer, and can perform motions that even real snakes cannot, such as continuously rolling over its entire body.
