Who We Are & What We Do
The Cornell University SnakeArm is a project team that seeks to design and fabricate a class of robotic arms that best resemble the strength, fluidity, precision, and dexterity of a snake by maximizing our arm's degrees of freedom and payload capacity and ensuring mechanical compliance.
Our robot is being designed with medical applications such as remote surgery and biomedical endoscopic robotics in mind.
We are currently working on the fourth generation of the robotic arm.
