This robot is essentially composed of a transparent tube with four legs positioned at each corner. The tube is hollow at both ends, allowing the creature to easily slide in and out when desired. The robotic legs are meticulously designed with joints to mimic the movements of various reptiles.There are two ways to control the robot: manually via remote or automatically through pre-programmed software. After the crafting process, Allen Pan - the inventor of the aforementioned system - 'gifted' this device to a lucky snake. Perhaps the snake was chosen due to its large size, which fits well with the robot's system. Additionally, some snake species appear to be gentler than venomous snakes.
When the snake was placed into the robotic tube and moved, Allen Pan was incredibly surprised and delighted to see it lying still and 'enjoying' the sensation of being transported instead of showing discomfort and trying to escape as quickly as possible.Perhaps the creature simply enjoys the sensation of being aided in movement without expending energy, rather than suggesting that snakes truly desire their limbs back. Nevertheless, this is a rather amusing invention and demonstrates the YouTuber's investment in turning his ideas into reality.We know both snakes and serpents are limbless creatures, but their fossils lead researchers to believe that over 150 million years ago, these animals may have actually moved using limbs. Through evolution, this feature seems to have become unnecessary for snakes, so they evolved to lose them.
In fact, during the embryonic stage, snakes still possess limbs, but their genetic makeup quickly transforms these appendages into... reproductive organs.According to Popsci
