ReQuBiS - Reconfigurable Quadrupedal-Bipedal Snake Robots [PDF]
The selection of mobility modes for robot navigation consists of various trade-offs. Snake robots are ideal for traversing through constrained environments such as pipes, cluttered and rough terrain, whereas bipedal robots are more suited for structured environments such as stairs.

IRIS: Integrated Robotic Intraocular Snake [PDF]
Retinal surgery is one of the most technically challenging surgical disciplines. Many robotic systems have been developed to enhance the surgical capabilities. However, very few of them provide the surgeon the dexterity within the patient's eye to enable more flexible, more advanced surgical procedures.

Improved Integrated Robotic Intraocular Snake
Retinal surgery can be performed only by surgeons possessing advanced surgical skills because of the small, confined intraocular space, and the restricted free motion of instruments in contact with the sclera. Snake-like robots could be essential for use in retinal surgery to overcome this problem.
