        abstract = {This work presents the mechanical, computational and structural design of a snake-like robot. The robot consists of 10 articulated segments with two degrees of freedom (2-DOF), inspired from serpentine locomotion in nature. The entire mechanical framework is 3D-printed using low density internal mesh structure, designed to reduce weight while maintaining shell stiffness. Each segment contains a compartment for servo motors, wiring, sensors and microcontroller. The control system is based on an ESP32 microcontroller for low-level actuation. The assembled bot demonstrated sidewinding, lateral undulation and serpentine crawling across different surfaces.},
