Discussion: Talk about your favorite bionic robot.
One possible version:
A robotic snake is snake like with long and flexible body.
It can not only exlpore Mars but also shuttle the narrow space freely. A robotic snake could be useful as it could carry things across difficult uneven surface where wheeled vehicles can’t go. After an earthquake, it can dig into ruins to detect the survivors so that it is able to deliver food and medicine to the buried people, which gives them a glimmer of hope. It can also be used to repair underground pipeline.
Choose your favorite bionic robot and introduce its appearance and applications.
