"Anyone can string a bunch of snake motors together to make a snake robot." I understand why he said that, but controlling and powering a bunch of servos is non-trivial. (Though I suppose it is trivial for a roboticist.) I haven't tried a snake robot yet, but my hexapods were a challenge to power and control. Thanks for the video Conputerphile.

There is another movement mode related to the concertina mode: coil and spring. We see this when a cobra strikes. I started building serpentine robots back in the mid 90s, and I didn't have access to these cool servos. Instead, I used NiTiNOL tensile springs, four per universal joint. They're pretty slow to cool and stretch, but respond very quickly and contract when you put current through them to heat them up, and can move several hundred times their own mass. They act a lot like muscles. I also didn't have Python back then in the olden days, and was limited by my budget to using 8 bit CPUs, in particular the 8085. I've spent quite a bit of time developing an AI system that operates on 8 bit CPUs or microcontrollers, which I call FUNGAL - the FUzzy logic/ Neural network /Genetic Algorithm Language. It has taken me nearly 30 years, and of course Moore's law has long passed me by, but I believe we have only scratched the surface of what an 8 bit computer can do. Sometime in the next few years I'll release the language so other people can play with it on microcontrollers or retrocomputers.

Sure, Snakes are good at going through cramped corridors. But I think Computer Science should turn their attention back to the noblest yet humblest of reptiles, the Turtles. Computer Science has modeled basic turtle movement on surface - turns, movement back and forth, and ultimately inconsequential things like holding a pen. But millions of years of evolution prepared Turtles to be some of the most epic tunnel diggers of the Reptilekind. Why is this not modelled yet? That's the real interesting field for scientists who want to break new ground.
