ABSTRACT

A snake-like robot includes a first link having a first distal end, a first
proximal end, and a first longitudinal axis extending between the first distal
end and the first proximal end. A second link has a second proximal end, a
second distal end operatively coupled to the first proximal end, and a second
longitudinal axis extending between the second proximal end and the second
distal end. Rotation of the first link relative to the second link
alternatively performs the following effects: elongation of the robot;
pivoting of the first longitudinal axis relative to the second longitudinal
axis; and rotation of the first longitudinal axis relative to the second
longitudinal axis.
