»OmniTread, the Snake Bot is here! Caterpillar-like robot!«







The OmniTread serpentine robot is designed to traverse extremely difficult terrain, such as the rubble of a collapsed building.
The OmniTread can also drive over sand and rocks. It can pass through small holes and climb over tall obstacles.

Innovations:
• Use of pneumatic bellows for joint actuation. Bellows are powerful, naturally compliant, and take up minimal space.
• Maximal coverage of all sides of all segments with extra wide moving tracks.
• Unique pneumatic control method allows simultaneous proportional control of stiffness and joint angles.
• The "drive shaft spine" is powered by a single electric motor in the center segment. The spine runs through the center of all segments and provides torque to the all tracks


Soon these machines will fight for the Japanese imperium! Kill him my robots!

Can I assume you are referring to the mega-corporation from the Robocop films? If so, then I will produce a head nod and a laugh.
