ReQuBiS - Reconfigurable Quadrupedal-Bipedal Snake Robots [PDF]
2021 IEEE 17th International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE), 2021 The selection of mobility modes for robot navigation consists of various trade-offs. Snake robots are ideal for traversing through constrained environments such as pipes, cluttered and rough terrain, whereas bipedal robots are more suited for structured environments such as stairs.
