Sure, it would be possible to make an artifical snake- that is, a machine that could move by self articulation.

sankes moves by alternate constriction and expansion of its muscles, it's possible to construct ideally such a machine with a flexible material with underlying constrictors and expansors...i dont knwo if such researches are yet made , but nobody thought about it because wheels prove to be a good option.

i imagine it is plausible, in spite of the indisputable fact that it actual doesn't be as speedy and useful as a snake. imagine of how many joints there may want to be contained in the gadget. also a snake is often muscle, so virtually the entire floor of the gadget may want to be in a position to flow. no matter if all this technologies were placed into one gadget, it actual doesn't artwork as quick and fluid as a snake.
