Snake-arm robots are completely different to snake-bots! It says so in the article. A snakebot mimics the biomorphic motion of a snake in order to slither along the ground but a snake-arm is a fixed manipulator which has many degrees of freedom and can bend and change it's shape like a snake (if you were to hold it's tail!).
This article is sounding like a commercial for OC Robotics. Removed links to commercial website per WP:EL, links to be avoided. Calltech 02:19, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
Someone's going to have to explain this to me: What is the difference between an OC Robotics link on this page and the extensive list of links to
industrial robot manufacturers on that page?
Kborer, I understand your argument but this makes no sense to me. What is the difference???

Kborer: While I agree that an article shouldn't be "a commercial for OC Robotics", or anyone else for that matter - a friend of mine makes Snake Arm Robots, and it seems odd that the mere existence of commercially available robots of this type shouldn't be part of the wikipedia article. While I have great respect for the folk at Carnegie and Clemson (and any others) who are researching this stuff - that people are actually putting them to work seems factually important.
