Terrifying snake robot just wants to get to know you better

What’s that peeking around the corner, telescoping straight out of your nightmares? Why, it’s none other than OC Robotics’ new snake-armed robot here to lend a coiling appendage!

Hey there, not-at-all horrifying snake robot!

According to OC Robotics’ website, the robot was designed to get inside locations humans cannot reach because they are either hazardous or too small. Snake-like robots have been used in the past in spots like Japan’s melted-down Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

The robot could also be used in situations where a human is too creeped out to enter the room because there’s a Wifi-powered tentacle on wheels rolling around and staring at things with cold machine eyes.

The latter use case probably is not in the design specs.
