Scientists at Carnegie Mellon have engineered a snakelike robotic arm that can monitor health signs and potentially administer
treatments. The robot is equipped with sensors and a small camera,
which wirelessly relays video to a laptop. A researcher watches the
video onscreen and wirelessly controls the robot’s movements with a
joystick. The robot can move anywhere along the length of the body, and
can lower itself to administer oxygen or monitor a person’s breathing.
