 For a human, the above description is simple to understand. A human can understand that a snake-inspired robot is the same as a snakebot and a snake robot. We know that a snake is an animal and so these robots look and move like an animal. We understand what a sensor is, and how they are useful in various situations. Humans make inferences based upon the above text, but to a machine the paragraph is completely incomprehensible.
 If a machine could understand our text, it could help us pick which configuration of a snakebot is best suited to current needs. For instance, an urban search and rescue snake robot should have at least a heat-sensing device to detect bodies in rubble. If we could make the text machine-readable, we could allow the snake robot to automatically use a new sensor, without having it hard-wired into its software.
