Meet the robotic snake of your nightmares.
It's called the Eelume robot. Several Norwegian companies are collaborating to develop it for monitoring underwater equipment.
The Eelume will hopefully reduce the need for big and pricey maintenance vessels.
Its slender body can access hard-to-reach areas and even do some light work, like cleaning and adjusting valves.
The robot will supposedly spend its whole life on the sea floor, though it looks like it needs a power source to work, for now.
Let's just hope it doesn't get any ideas from "Terminator."
