  TOKYO — A Japanese technological institute has developed a snake-like robot able to mimic the reptile's movements, a scientist of the institute said Thursday.
  
  The flexible robot, the first of its kind developed in the world, can swim by wriggling its body, said Toshiharu Mukai, head of a research team at the Bio-Mimetic Control Research Center of the government-backed research institute Riken. (Kyodo News)

  Hmm... if the robot drowns, do we have to perform CPR on it too?
