Meet The Cutting-Edge EELS: A Snake-Robot being developed to Autonomously Map - NASA JPL

Meet EELS, a snake-like robot being developed Meet EELS, a snake-like robot being developed to autonomously map and explore previously inaccessible destinations on Earth, the Moon, and other worlds in our solar system.
Inspired by a desire to look for signs of life below the icy crust of Saturn's moon Enceladus, the robot's testing and development phase has shown that EELS is versatile and can be adapted to a wide variety of terrain including sand and ice, cliff walls, craters too steep for rovers, underground lava tubes, and labyrinth-like spaces within glaciers.
