Robotic science is intended to create devices that can aid humans in activities. In some case, it's to help perform tasks that are too difficult or dangerous for humans. In other cases, it's to relieve us of mundane tasks. Then, there are cases of robots that do little more than invade our nightmares.
Such is the case with this robot designed by Harvard. This flexible device is able to wiggle and writhe it's way through tight spaces. There are uses for such a device, we're sure. We just don't what those uses are yet outside of possible the defense department having some diabolical plans for it.
