The next generation snakebot from CMU incorporates series elastic actuators into every joint. Appropriately enough, it's called the SEA snake. The actuators allow for torque control and compliant motions, giving the snake a rather playful gravity compensation mode:
This blog describes various developments related to modular robotics used in different fields such as space exploration, search for people in natural disasters and new fields of action in which these types of robots could assist.
