Abstract

The invention concerns an articulated element comprising two opposing end faces (1, 2) for connection to other elements. At least two hydraulic actuators (6, 7) are adapted to articulate the articulated element in at least two dimensions, and at least one control valve (11, 12) is included for each actuator (6, 7). A robotic snake comprising at least two articulated elements, a skin for a robotic snake, a head unit for connection to an articulated element, and a use of the robotic snake for rescue operations or fire fighting purposes is also included.
