A slithering snake robot that can swim underwater with unsettling ease

by Larra Morris

A snake robot swims underwater with vaguely unsettling ease in this video uploaded in 2013 by IEEE Spectrum. The robot in question is an ACM-R5, a waterproof articulated robot designed for underwater inspection and search operations. The robot has a wireless camera and additional sensors can be installed “upon request.” Each modular segment has wheels, which allows the robot to slither out of water as well. It’s much larger than it appears on video–a standard arrangement of nine segments is about five-and-a-half feet long.

Designing for Functional Safety with Infineon Memory

Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Infineon

In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Alex Bahm from Infineon investigate the benefits of Infineon’s SEMPER NOR Flash and how the reliability, long-term data retention, and functional safety compliance make this memory solution a great choice for a variety of mission critical applications. They also examine how SEMPER NOR Flash has been architected and designed for functional safety and how Infineon’s Solutions Hub can help you get started using SEMPER NOR Flash in your next design.
