Underwater snake robot will instill a fear of swimming in you

“Just when you thought it was safe to go in the water — you see the above video of a lifelike, infinitely creepy snake robot that swims through a pool, presumably sniffing for human flesh to feed on.

Developed by the Hirose Fukushima Lab in Japan, the robot was designed to explore the movement mechanics of snakes and how they’re able to move easily with no appendages. Now that they’ve developed a robot that can clearly swim pretty easily in water, it’s not clear what they’ll use it for other than terrifying beachgoers, but I’m sure they’ll come up with something a bit more useful. I hope so at least.”
