Allen posted a video detailing his efforts to build robotic legs for a snake, and after a few failed attempts, the snake "voluntarily crawled" into the tube and the programmed walk began.
Fans have been shocked after seeing this ground-breaking innovation.
This is just the beginning of incorporating robotics into the animal kingdom.

The video titled, 'Give snakes their legs back', has reached millions over the internet.
Some of the comments have been as follows:
- "I have no idea how this man has enough confidence to just walk into a petco carrying a giant tube with legs"
- "I can't wait for the eventual future episode, "Giving Komodo Dragons wings"
- "I have always had a fear of snakes particularly because of the fact of how dangerous they can sometimes be despite not even having legs. This video certainly helped to prove that with legs they are even more terrifying to me thank you 10/10"
- "This made me like snake. She’s too adorable with her new built legs lol"
- "Very cool project! That snake is having the experience of a lifetime!"
- "The 5 snakes I own will love this invention! Gone are the days of them getting burnt on the sidewalk during our morning walks, Thank you Allen Pan!"
