Top 4 Companies Leading the Global Snake Robot Market

Oliver Crispin Robotics Limited, HiBot Corp., Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation, and Eelume AS, among others, are leading players in the global snake robot market.

The global snake robot market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 19.8% during the period 2022-2027. North America, Europe and Asia are likely to be key markets.

Snakes have been used as an inspiration to design by engineers; snake-based robot designs have been used to repair pipelines on ocean floors, burrow through soil and sand, devise devices fit for use in emergencies. For example, slender, extensible, and flexible robots are being developed and employed across domains to reach difficult sites and save lives. Snake robots are flexible robots resembling biological snakes; snake robots have important uses in nuclear applications, aerospace maintenance and assembly, security, search and rescue, surgery, and other domains. North America, Europe and Asia are likely to be key markets.

In 2022, it was reported that Japanese researchers developed a high-tech snake-shaped robot that could climb ladders and make its way up drainpipes. The development raised hopes that this type of devices could be soon employed to inspect inaccessible locations in disaster-hit regions.
