Robot Snake

From TechEBlog, ACM-R5 Amphibious Snake-Like Robot:
Powered by a lithium-ion battery, the ACM-R5 is a radio-controlled amphibious robot designed to move like its real world counterpart. It can slither or swim underwater for 30 minutes on a full charge. Inside, you’ll find an intricate sensor system (attitude/torque), small-sized camera, and a 32bit micro controller.
Impressive. Go see. Via William Gibson.
