From the Biorobotics Lab at Carnegie Mellon University, a snake robot (Snakebot) demonstrates how it can climb a tree and look around.
Please keep in mind that this robot climbed a specific tree with a specific trunk width about 1 meter off of the ground. The researchers working to design, build and program these robots still have much work to do to get these bots to climb taller trees of various sizes and to navigate over branches and wires.

@45von The video clearly shows a robot that “just roll[s] up the tree” …in real life.
If a particular type tree happens to have branches that inhibit the robots motion, then I guess it couldn’t climb that type of tree… that seems fairly obvious. What is your point?

Also, the tree bark is falling off. That’d be a lot of effort for blue screen shenanigans. It’s real.

The tree-climing scene beginning around 00:47 looks fake somehow, like with a bluescreen or something. Nice idea though. Maybe we could make giant ones and put mini nuke reactors in them to power them without a cord. Beetlejuice would be proud.
