Robots are useful tools to use to perform tasks in unknown and dangerous environments. Giving them a flexible spine could make them mechanically robust to impact while preserving human-like performance. This video from DLRRMC proposes an elastic backbone approach to develop humanoid robots for unknown environments.

Structurally Flexible Humanoid Spine based on a Tendon-Driven Elastic Continuum
As you can see, the robot can move its head forward, backwards, and in any direction. More information is available here.
