When an earthquake happens, due to poor efficiency of rescue, lots of people buried under the ruins are less able to hold on before the rescue teams reach them. Some less injured victims died often due to no supply of food and water. This snake-shaped rescue robot is designed to solve this problem. It is very thin and long, so it can worm its way into the ruins looking for any survivors while carrying plenty of food and water. It carries a life detector to find survivors and use the tube to deliver food and water to them. It reports the exact locations and conditions of the victims to the rescue station at the same time.
