Check out this vid of the Active Scope Camera, which is basically a creepy, crawling snake-like robot, that houses fibre-optics.
It was designed by researchers at Japan's Tohoku University, and is 8m long.
The team hopes it will be used in situations, such as in the devastation after an earthquake, to get into areas rescuers and dogs can't.
