A Snake robot to go underground

Hi everyone,

I liked to create a robot to crawl into a hole.
I was thinking do to something like a snake.
If anyone has an idea of the parts I should need form here?
Or a better idea!

Tks

Hi @j182 and welcome to the forum!

That sounds like a cool project. I guess you want to build something like this:

That is quite an unusual design but it certainly looks awesome. Are you experienced in robotics? If you are I would say definitely go for it, but because it is an uncommon shape you would likely have to design many pieces and print or build them with some resistant material.

If you aren’t very experienced in the field I would suggest going for a more simple design, something like a tracked robot or maybe a hexapod. You can also take a look at the awesome robotics projects in the Robots section where you can find some inspiration and also share your project. And if you need some guidance in the project you could also give a look at the How to Make a Robot tutorial series.

I hope that information can help you out :smiley:

Hello @geraldinebc15

Thanks for the welcome!

I am software engineer, did some robotics basic in school.

I am trying to go trough a rat hole, and I thought snake shape was a good idea, the link you gave is really great.

I am open to any shape suggestions :slight_smile:
