| Paradise flying snake |
The Paradise flying snake (Chrysopelea paradisi) can use as the model of modern flying robots, which can also slip in the holes. In this kind of robot, the body of the robot is acting as the wing. The entirety is controlled by microchips that are giving orders to the control systems. Those microchips control the form of the robot.
There are jet tubes at both ends of this wing, what is putting that robot rotating, like the wing of the helicopter's rotor. The skeleton of the robot snake has articulations. The skeleton of this robot is covered by using plastic or kevlar skin, which makes the change of the shape possible. The robot can slither like a snake, and it can have the contact layers, which have similar plates with feet of geckos, which allows it to move at the vertical walls.
But
there can also be rolls under its stomach, which makes it travel at
high speed. Or the robot snake can also turn itself into a wheel if it
requires high speed on the ground. The wristbones of the skeleton can
have the servo-system, which allows its body to go flatten if it needs
to fly.
And jet pipes at both sides of the body would conduct the
pressurized air to both directions, which makes that system able to fly
like a helicopter. That system requires that there is a small-size
compressor in the body of that robot.
But there must be some
missions to that robot, that is it worth to build. The robot snake can
use in scientific work, where it can observe other animals. The robot
snakes can have a laser- or radar system in their body, which allows
them to eavesdrop on buildings. But those systems can also have guns or
laser weapons in their mouth.
