Seeking Snake

The Post Gazette has an interesting article about robotic snakes: Snakes That Seek: A Slithery Kind Of Robot Being Developed at CMU. It describes a long robot, which can wriggle its way into debris -- the kind that would appear during an earth-quake.

A very nice idea, I just wonder how efficient it is!
