Climbing with Snake-Like Robots
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2001Abstract This paper presents an implementation of a long serial chain robot that can climb stairs in a “snake-biting-its-tail” loop form, climb up ramps using a travelling wave gait and by adding small spikes or cleats it can also climb near vertical porous materials.

Development of a snake-like robot adapting to the ground
ICARCV 2004 8th Control, Automation, Robotics and Vision Conference, 2004., 2005Biological snakes' diverse locomotion modes and physiology make them supremely adapted for the ground. This paper discusses the biological snakes' locomotion mode on the diverse ground, and describes the development of a snake-like robot with the adaptability for the ground. The method to realize some locomotion modes is given. The method for detecting

Development of a snake-like robot
9th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control, 2006., 2006This paper presents the development of a robot that mimics the movement of a live snake. A prototype robot comprising six links was constructed. Torque actuators between the links modify the robot's shape. Anisotropic friction between the links and the ground generates the force that propels the robot. A control variable that determines actuator angles

Locomotion control of a novel snake-like robot
2004 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) (IEEE Cat. No.04CH37566), 2005It is essential to design a joint mechanism for snake-like robots to exhibit more mobility, no singularity and powerful actuation for many applications. By adding a series of passive wheels to the perimeter of the newly designed joint mechanism with 3 DOFs, a snake-like robot provided with the characteristic of omnidirectional mechanism can traverse ...

Development of a Snake-like Robot
1996In spite of the wide theoretical capabilities they are attributed, the use of snake-like mobile robots is still limited, partly because the control of such systems is difficult, and requires a high computational cost, even in very simple situations. In this paper we described the design of a wheeled hyperredundant robot that can perform 3-dimensional ...

Head-raising Motion of Snake-like Robots
2004 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics, 2005To acquire more environmental information for planning further tasks, the snake-like robot has to raise its head to observe the situation at a high position due to its low-height stature, which resembles the head-raising motion of the natural snake. In this paper, the motion of snake-like robot raising head is realized by improving the serpentine input

Development of a sea snake-like underwater robot
2014 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO 2014), 2014Developing soft fish robots by biomimetic approach is a useful way to achieve high efficiency, high performance and fish-like motions. Comparing to the conventional rigid fish robots, the design and control of soft fish robots are difficult, because the coupling between the flexible structure and fluid should be considered.

Simulation of a Novel Snake-Like Robot
2006This research focuses on simulation of a new snake-like robot. Most of the snake-like robots developed until now are based on the lateral undulation mode of locomotion. Nevertheless, it seems difficult to apply this mode of locomotion in realistic conditions such as non-planar and complex grounds, since most of these robots use wheels.

Stabilization of the head of an undulating snake-like robot
2007 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2007In this paper, we discuss about stabilization of the head of a snake-like robot. In prior research snake-like robots usually shook the head during undulating motion. However, a snake-like robot is usually equipped with a camera on the head, so the swing of the head is problem.
