»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
