A snakebot is a robot that looks like a snake and moves like one too! It has different parts that work together to help it slither, just like a real snake.
The snakebot is made up of many little pieces called segments. Each segment has its own motor, or engine, that makes it move. This is like how the muscles in a real snake work to make it crawl along the ground.
The snakebot also has sensors on the front that help it sense its surroundings. These sensors can tell the snakebot if there's something in its way, like a wall or a rock, so it can move around it.
The snakebot is really good at getting into small spaces because it can bend and twist in lots of different ways. This makes it really useful for exploring places where people can't go, like pipes and tunnels.
Scientists and engineers are using snakebots for all sorts of things, like exploring dangerous places, cleaning up oil spills, and even in surgeries to help doctors reach hard-to-reach places inside the body.
