That is exactly what I think. It seems ridiculously obvious that this simple invention should be everywhere, in some shape or form. Now that they show it in action I'm astounded this didn't exist alrealy. I used to love playing with those 'water wiggly' toys, but didn't think of the other incredible applications. Having something this obvious and useful is a great indication of it being extremely good!
The year is 2050. Your apartment building is on fire. A fire engine pulls up. The top of it unhinges and it releases six thousand hissing purple tentacles.
What's absurd about this idea is that realistically speaking, its probably a very viable potential application. Just have the tentacles navigate to the hot points automatically and when the moment is right, they can release their liquid spray. Wait that doesn't sound right...
This video and your research has inspired new ideas. I am an engineer at a company working to save lives with lasers. The technology has not changed much since 1970s.

As a firefighter, I can imagine how useful it would be to have a version of this in our trucks. I have EMT experience so I've had to open airways before, this looks like a massive improvement from the current standard.
this looks like the same concept design as a super glottic airway device like an I-Gel or King Tube, and inflating the entire thing seems like an unnecessary possible complication for pneumothorax patients with trachea deviation, or the added pressure on the jugular vessels with JVD for example. you need to have the device be able to protect against aspiration, the added equipment of a pump, valves and whatever else. I'm not really seeing the niche of an airway device like this, but if they design it properly maybe it could be great. I guess the idea of inflating an entire tube like this without visual confirmation is my biggest concern. I've missed my fair share of intubations and even tho it hurt my pride, I just whipped out the ole king tube and shoved that bitch in there
The demonstration of penetration into sand reminded me of a friend, back in the 90s, that was building a riverbank dock and party platform/deck. The riverbank and bottom were made of a hard, but saturated red clay. My friend clamped a small copper tubu to each of the pillars. The ends were pinched, creating a tiny jet nozzle that extended an inch beyond the pillar bottom, and bent slightly towards the center. When the tube was attached to a small pressure washer, the pillar was positioned where it was needed and the water jet softened the clay directly below the pillar, allowing the weight of the pillar to penetrate up to the 6' needed for securing it into the soil. This was at least 10X faster than driving the pillars, and the suction of the saturated clay held them tighter than a frogs butt. It was amazing. Each pole simply sank into the "mud" until the water was turned off. With enough pillars, the rest of the structure was a "piece of cake"... All accomplished in an afternoon by beer drinking hillbillies..!
There is a currently used version of this robot that is repairing sewer lines across America. The tip has a powered cutting ring that removes blockages. It also pulls a hose that flushes the debree down the line. The cool part is that the tube is pumped with hot water that causes the tube to harden and become a new smooth PVC liner inside the old line. Takes 2 hours to repair half a mile of sewer line. Then a second robot cuts holes in the first tube at places determind by camera to reconnect the side lines.
Cool! Thanks for the info. It reminds me of the mycoborer in "Captain Vorpatril's Alliance", but hopefully less likely to get out of control! =:o} (By the way, it's spelled "debris". Silent "s" at the end, 'cos it's a french word. =:o} )
This could be used to supply fresh oxygen and liquids to trapped people, even if it weren't able to lift collapsed materials from them. You could feed straws through the middle of it, one for liquids and one for oxygen, even a microphone and speaker, so you can communicate with the trapped person and give them reassurances.
There is a system in place for some of these events. What needs to be realized is the video, for burrowing, was shown in sand for a reason. The material you are penetrating has to be displaced to pass through. Once you get very deep at all this setup will certainly fail in denser soils, and we have not even made it to rock yet. An Air Track unit that bores into rock runs off of air and still uses steel as the tool. The head is bigger than the shaft to create a large enough hole for the accompanied shaft and to displace the material so it can move up the bore spacing and out of the hole. In drilling this is called circulation. To push through any material there needs to be some form of circulation or your achieving the opposite. Compaction. I cannot say, but perhaps this design could be more suited for avalanche scenarios. Need to keep in mind though, snow can condense to a degree, and the deeper you go, you may run into ice chunks. Would you attempt to burrow through it...or go around it. I don't know. I'm just pointing out even snow is potentially abrasive, then again, so is sand. Perhaps a more experienced mind in this field could weigh in?
10:00 something not talked about is that during intibation damage can be done to your mouth, to your throat, your tranchia, a bad wrench or move can literally break teeth, but all of these aren't worth you dying. Meanwhile, this super soft robot can remove all of that risk.
Watching that intubation made me cringe. I know the guy isn't trained to do so, but I had forgotten how bad it looks when someone doesn't actually know what they're doing.
This thing could be revolutionary, especially for emergent intubations. Seen way too many situations go south because the patient was a difficult intubation. They could probably build a tube into it that goes through the esophageal part so you have access to the patient's stomach as well. Might as well create an NG tube with the same technology, and do colonoscopies, EGD's, and bronchoscopies, with the same technology. The applications for this are endless.
I think this setup shown here wont work and could possibly kill the patient by getting blocked due to higer pressure in the lungs than inside of the tube while expiration. The tube will collapse and won't let air out of the lungs. Even though that problem could be solved. Keep the work up but I think at this point there are some designflaws for this application. Maybe I got the setup wrong dont be rude :D
I had something similar happen when playing halo... It was actually unnerving when It quietly said to me... "This is not your grave... But you are welcome in it."
@Dirk Digler We're talking about science, not politics here. I'd rather not have people start a flamewar because they can't help but complain about things in every comment section they can find. Just let people be happy about noodle robots.
There’s a very similar product in plumbing for collapsed drain lines. A hose is forced through the center of a pipe with hydraulic pressure. It’s used mostly for clay sewage pipes that are notorious for collapsing with age.
4:06 breaks the machine, "oh that was great", walks away casually Edit: Yes, I know he didn't technically "break" the machine, but he depressurized it, making it required to be set up again before being able to use it again, also limiting Derek's ability to fload in the air. A non scientist/engineer person would react as "Oops, sorry did I break it?" Instead of walking away like nothing happened.
@@elyriawonk6807 we have several cameras at my company and they work really well buy they have no ability to turn or control in any way. So if a branch drain has no way to access it from the building it is often not possible to get the cable to it. With one of these we could go from the outside access and then just turn it when we get to the tie in. Would be super helpful for sure.
@@ZeeroDubs You could probably build one with enough patience and time. For the purposes of inspecting pipes it's fairly unnecesary to have any steering, except maybe on the camera itself. That simplifies the design quite a lot, the hardest part would be making it retractable but its nothing you couldn't overcome with a bit of trial and error. I have seen remote control cameras on the ends of long rods for this purpose, perhaps one could be modifies to work with an inflating tube? On a side note, it would be much more fun to build a robotic spider capable of climbing inside of the pipes to inspect them. You could give it little cannons to shoot blockages and turn you day job into a video game.
How well would this robot work underwater and or on the surface of water? And if temperatures got too high would it pop like a balloon? What would happen if part of the robot froze? I'd like to see more of this robot!
Imagine if a space probe could easily probe an asteroid with this, something that has failed before due to the asteroid being a very loose aggregation of dust/sand that couldn't be drilled The heat and freezing would be important
@@HowToChangeName my focus was more on the hit the functionality would take. Due to the tube likely floating, or popping like a balloon in hot conditions, as well as freezing if any condensation gets into it, potentially sealing it cause it to once again pop. In conditions like in the arctic or a fire this thing seems to be unreliable, as it’s meant to be used as a fast tool to save time moving rubble, sometimes conditions are either too extreme or too much time would be wasted to consider using it in those unique situations.

@@user255 it’s more of an issue of speed and required skill, patients needing to be intimated, but not being in time, or skilled nurses/doctors/ems not being present in that exact moment
The same thing can be accompanied with a king airway/combitube/igel/LMA all of which are non visualize airways that are very quick and easy to place. The question is if the patient is not breathing the first action is not intubation but to ventilate them with a BVM. So while I think it is a cool device with a lot of potential I don’t see it being something we use for securing an airway

Similar concepts were investigated a couple of decades ago and called “topographic” because of their intrinsic conformation to the structure being intubated. They were considered as potentially improving such procedures as enteroscopy. A topographic colonoscope was actually developed , the “Aeroscope.” While it showed promised, I never saw production models.
The year was 2007, my first year of college & it was a science project. I had decided to make robotic snake for the mentioned purpose. But due to time & money & programming langauge constraints I had to drop it. I again gave it a try and asked my friend's help on the same. But they fooled me at the end. And here it is 14 years later, this guy makes all things possible with just plastic and air. No circuits. No programming. No logics. No moving parts. Just Simple Science. A totally unexpected application. Hats off to this guy...
Usage concept: I'm a civil engineer that sometimes deals with the repair or maintenance for sewer and storm drain lines. We typically hire a company that uses a "snake"with a camera to inspect pipes. This inflatable tube may be a useful tool to get past blockages.
@@MartijnPennings that could be a good use, as there are some arteries (esp in the brain) we cant reach be today's means. Very difficult to get pas certain bends.

If the robot could let blood pass, then it would be a magnificent use of this tech!
@@heyyou5189 Yep. My idea started with repairing drywall. I needed something with tension pushing outwards, but something I wouldnt need to keep. So I used a balloon.

Although having the device used to help patients breathe sounds amazing, wouldn't it be dangerous to have a pressurized device inserted into someone's mouth? If the airway is swollen and more pressure is needed, for example, I feel like there's a risk of having a lung explode after the device fully expands. Are there any safeguards for this type of scenario?
Yeah, I'm a nurse and while I have not intubated a patient personally I've helped and observed several. I definitely think they're exaggerating how useful it would be for intubations. They don't say anything as to how they make sure it doesn't go down the esophagus instead of the trachea which is a big issue since the esophagus is a much larger tube or how they keep it from damaging anything, how they would secure it, how they'd make sure it's the right length or any other potential issues. They definitely exaggerate how difficult intubations tend to be, while they can be occasionally difficult and take several minutes most are done in under a minute if not under 30 seconds.
Apply this principle to a fire hose that can extend into a burning structure and be steered around obstacles, up stairs, into rooms, down into cellars, etc.

Gastroenterologist here: I can see this technology easily being adapted to perform colonoscopies, gastroscopies and small bowel endoscopies. If successfuly adapted - it could have the potential to revolutionize the profession and make endoscopy widespread.

I'm gonna try to build a vine robot to lay fiber under my house's floors. The house's floors are made of granite attached on top of a wooden frame, with plenty underneath the frame for a vine robot to crawl through. Unfortunately crawling under the flooring isn't possible, as there's no entry path. With a vine robot, I think we could drill a relatively small hole through the floor, and guide with tape. It seems that adding internal controls adds significantly more complexity, and increases the robots diameter. I'm interested in attaching a IR camera and light source to the front for guidance, however it doesn't seem like there's much information on this. Luckily the distance the robot needs to travel is only around 5m, and mostly a straight path.
This really could be used in sooooo many ways. Some that weren’t mentioned which I can think of are colonoscopies, endoscopies, plumbing, and the list goes on. This opens up a lot of things that can be researched

You could feed straws through the middle of it, one for liquids and one for oxygen, even a microphone and speaker, so you can communicate with the trapped person and give them reassurances.
Write that down! Write that down!
Awesome idea! Please reach out to the guys, links in video description. I’m sure this could be great for avalanches!
This was my idea as I was watching the video. I'm sure many other people also thought the same thing.
There is a system in place for some of these events. What needs to be realized is the video, for burrowing, was shown in sand for a reason. The material you are penetrating has to be displaced to pass through. Once you get very deep at all this setup will certainly fail in denser soils, and we have not even made it to rock yet. An Air Track unit that bores into rock runs off of air and still uses steel as the tool. The head is bigger than the shaft to create a large enough hole for the accompanied shaft and to displace the material so it can move up the bore spacing and out of the hole. In drilling this is called circulation. To push through any material there needs to be some form of circulation or your achieving the opposite. Compaction.
I cannot say, but perhaps this design could be more suited for avalanche scenarios. Need to keep in mind though, snow can condense to a degree, and the deeper you go, you may run into ice chunks. Would you attempt to burrow through it...or go around it. I don't know. I'm just pointing out even snow is potentially abrasive, then again, so is sand. Perhaps a more experienced mind in this field could weigh in?
@@ironfam6511 Maybe emitting hot air/water or ethylene glycol out of it’s end could help it going through snow or ice.
8:20 that smile completely shows her excitement and love for what she is doing
10:00 something not talked about is that during intibation damage can be done to your mouth, to your throat, your tranchia, a bad wrench or move can literally break teeth, but all of these aren't worth you dying. Meanwhile, this super soft robot can remove all of that risk.
Watching that intubation made me cringe. I know the guy isn't trained to do so, but I had forgotten how bad it looks when someone doesn't actually know what they're doing.
@@LordRunty hahahaha right? Where’s the verbal visualization of the vocal cords in the larynx? Etco2 to confirm placement 😂
This thing could be revolutionary, especially for emergent intubations. Seen way too many situations go south because the patient was a difficult intubation. They could probably build a tube into it that goes through the esophageal part so you have access to the patient's stomach as well. Might as well create an NG tube with the same technology, and do colonoscopies, EGD's, and bronchoscopies, with the same technology. The applications for this are endless.
and it won't be as painful since there won't be any friction
I think this setup shown here wont work and could possibly kill the patient by getting blocked due to higer pressure in the lungs than inside of the tube while expiration. The tube will collapse and won't let air out of the lungs. Even though that problem could be solved. Keep the work up but I think at this point there are some designflaws for this application.
Maybe I got the setup wrong dont be rude :D

As a plumber, it would be awesome to have a camera with navigation capabilities for inspecting sewer lines or even looking under houses.
@@LukeKeeganN Right?!
@@elyriawonk6807 we have several cameras at my company and they work really well buy they have no ability to turn or control in any way. So if a branch drain has no way to access it from the building it is often not possible to get the cable to it. With one of these we could go from the outside access and then just turn it when we get to the tie in. Would be super helpful for sure.
@@ZeeroDubs You could probably build one with enough patience and time. For the purposes of inspecting pipes it's fairly unnecesary to have any steering, except maybe on the camera itself.
That simplifies the design quite a lot, the hardest part would be making it retractable but its nothing you couldn't overcome with a bit of trial and error.
I have seen remote control cameras on the ends of long rods for this purpose, perhaps one could be modifies to work with an inflating tube?
On a side note, it would be much more fun to build a robotic spider capable of climbing inside of the pipes to inspect them. You could give it little cannons to shoot blockages and turn you day job into a video game.
I was thinking about the many applications for it's use by a plumber, I would sure make their job easier. Not a plumber

How well would this robot work underwater and or on the surface of water? And if temperatures got too high would it pop like a balloon? What would happen if part of the robot froze? I'd like to see more of this robot!
Imagine if a space probe could easily probe an asteroid with this, something that has failed before due to the asteroid being a very loose aggregation of dust/sand that couldn't be drilled
The heat and freezing would be important
Good insight honestly, but I think you can just manipulate the material and external features
@@HowToChangeName my focus was more on the hit the functionality would take. Due to the tube likely floating, or popping like a balloon in hot conditions, as well as freezing if any condensation gets into it, potentially sealing it cause it to once again pop. In conditions like in the arctic or a fire this thing seems to be unreliable, as it’s meant to be used as a fast tool to save time moving rubble, sometimes conditions are either too extreme or too much time would be wasted to consider using it in those unique situations.

as a retired RN who worked ER's and ICU, seeing how EASY it is to intubate would have saved many patients
Do people really die to failed intubation? Of course, if the airways are smashed, but then this wouldn't help either.
@@user255 it’s more of an issue of speed and required skill, patients needing to be intimated, but not being in time, or skilled nurses/doctors/ems not being present in that exact moment
The same thing can be accompanied with a king airway/combitube/igel/LMA all of which are non visualize airways that are very quick and easy to place. The question is if the patient is not breathing the first action is not intubation but to ventilate them with a BVM. So while I think it is a cool device with a lot of potential I don’t see it being something we use for securing an airway

Similar concepts were investigated a couple of decades ago and called “topographic” because of their intrinsic conformation to the structure being intubated. They were considered as potentially improving such procedures as enteroscopy. A topographic colonoscope was actually developed , the “Aeroscope.” While it showed promised, I never saw production models.
The year was 2007, my first year of college & it was a science project. I had decided to make robotic snake for the mentioned purpose. But due to time & money & programming langauge constraints I had to drop it. I again gave it a try and asked my friend's help on the same. But they fooled me at the end.

Usage concept: I'm a civil engineer that sometimes deals with the repair or maintenance for sewer and storm drain lines. We typically hire a company that uses a "snake"with a camera to inspect pipes. This inflatable tube may be a useful tool to get past blockages.
Do you remove the section where the blockage is or use one of those augur snakes to just pummel it out?
I thought the same. Also, if you could make it small enough, unclog arteries with blood clots?
@@MartijnPennings that could be a good use, as there are some arteries (esp in the brain) we cant reach be today's means. Very difficult to get pas certain bends.

Although having the device used to help patients breathe sounds amazing, wouldn't it be dangerous to have a pressurized device inserted into someone's mouth? If the airway is swollen and more pressure is needed, for example, I feel like there's a risk of having a lung explode after the device fully expands. Are there any safeguards for this type of scenario?
Yeah, I'm a nurse and while I have not intubated a patient personally I've helped and observed several. I definitely think they're exaggerating how useful it would be for intubations. They don't say anything as to how they make sure it doesn't go down the esophagus instead of the trachea which is a big issue since the esophagus is a much larger tube or how they keep it from damaging anything, how they would secure it, how they'd make sure it's the right length or any other potential issues. They definitely exaggerate how difficult intubations tend to be, while they can be occasionally difficult and take several minutes most are done in under a minute if not under 30 seconds.

Gastroenterologist here: I can see this technology easily being adapted to perform colonoscopies, gastroscopies and small bowel endoscopies. If successfuly adapted - it could have the potential to revolutionize the profession and make endoscopy widespread.

At least you didn't say colonoscopy "wide spread." 😂
exactly what I thought, it's the perfect tool for endoscopy as long as it's safe of course
My gut feeling tells me it's gonna be used a lot in the future. Really cool concept!
Usage concept: You could use vine robots to run a tube to underpin foundations and then fill them with a cement after they're in place. The same would be true for other types of construction repairs in tight situations like cracking walls etc.
To pump cement you would need thousand of pounds of pressure. No hose that reinforced would be flexible enough to unfold the way these robots do. But nice try
@@autodidacticartisan He’s onto the pumping something into a tight space part tho, you’re definitely right, it’d be way too difficult for cement but maybe filler or foam insulation for construction or something? 🤔
@@autodidacticartisan maybe it's a two or three step process: run the inflatable tube first, getting to the desired location; then insert a thinner harder, maybe perforated tube through the inflatable tube to the desired, location; then pump a cement slurry in and wait to cure.
@@jadenhampton1103 an expanding polyurethane foam would be plausable. It could be heated to lower pumping pressures. I dont know specifically how much load the foam could supoort, but its is remarkably strong for its weight
Usage concept for home renovators: you can clamp a cable in the middle part and deploy them through holes unreachable for humans
I could see this technology having good application for electrical wiring as well, fishing wiring behind walls can be quite difficult or messy.
and plumbing ... I mean actually plumbing not human plumbing
@@edd868 but also for human plumbing, at least in the medical sense.
@Sven Ruetz Did you find the link?
@@edd868 I just posted a comment, we used this to replace sewer lines, it was a gun that shot a woven hose like material, coated in resin and it worked exactly like this, then it would dry inside the pipe and create a new sewer line.
Look at a magnet roller, also this "robot" has been used in pluming for decades and many cities have been replacing sewer pipes with this, run the liner in and heat it and it cures in to a hard pipe you can also buy a pipe repair kits at wall mart that does this. what is happening in this video really is not new
Doujin artists:- write that down! Write that down!!
Oh no
More like Bad Dragon designers
oh no, but oh no(yes)
Oh god
*well, yes, but actually, no*
Wow this video really got my brain working. I have lots of ideas for improvements to their prototypes, plus some ideas of applications.
"unstoppable" and "robot" are two words you never want to hear in the same sentence.
The robot snakes are coming
“The robot is not unstoppable”
Unless you understand the laws of robotics :)
Luckily there's little potential for the remote control worm to be violent. Unless...
Gun worm.
@@za6604 when u use not in a sentence your unconscious mind won't get that, so it's no difference. It's true because you can't imagine something the negative way. You could say the robot is stoppable, which would be the same result technically but in your mind it is way different.

Same, but, to be fair, I wonder if it could be used for colonoscopies?

I'm gonna try to build a vine robot to lay fiber under my house's floors. The house's floors are made of granite attached on top of a wooden frame, with plenty underneath the frame for a vine robot to crawl through. Unfortunately crawling under the flooring isn't possible, as there's no entry path. With a vine robot, I think we could drill a relatively small hole through the floor, and guide with tape. It seems that adding internal controls adds significantly more complexity, and increases the robots diameter. I'm interested in attaching a IR camera and light source to the front for guidance, however it doesn't seem like there's much information on this.
Luckily the distance the robot needs to travel is only around 5m, and mostly a straight path.
"So where did this idea come from?"
"I had this vine in my office"
Yeah, I'm suuuuuuuuuuure that was the inspiration.
His office where he was ...browsing the internet.
What else would he be doing? I’m confused

Rule 34 let's goo
This really could be used in sooooo many ways. Some that weren’t mentioned which I can think of are colonoscopies, endoscopies, plumbing, and the list goes on. This opens up a lot of things that can be researched

It's actually already used in plumbing for laying special linings inside of pipes, as far as I know it has been for a while.
@@reginagohagan848 what?
They better be 1 time use for colonoscopies

The air burrowing robot would be a great emergency life saving device for people working in grain bins or grain piles when an air pocket collapses and they are buried. Would potentially provide an emergency way to get air to the individual. Also could work for avalanches.
Might struggle with avalanches as the snow around the victim solidified into ice.
@@vshadow1115 i don’t think it’d be different than the sand demonstration.
@@ARMTOASTIce will not behave the same way that snow and sand would. The friction from avalanches melts the snow which solidifies into ice which is how people end up trapped under very little snow.
The avalanche idea might not work, but the grain bin idea is the best one I've seen so far in the comments
Why not add a small heating device to the tip to melt its way through the ice?
