Simple Wriggling is Hard unless You Are a Fat Hippo
, 2010 We prove that it is NP-hard to decide whether two points in a polygonal domain with holes can be connected by a wire. This implies that finding any approximation to the shortest path for a long snake amidst polygonal obstacles is NP-hard. On the positive

Soft Robotic Snake with Tunable Undulatory Gait for Efficient Underwater Locomotion
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This study designs an underwater soft snake robot using 3D‐printed soft actuators, controlled by specific signals to generate sinusoidal undulation. Results show a positive correlation between speed and swing amplitude, with optimal performance at 2/3π phase offset, PLA tail, 1.2 voltage growth rate, and 6s undulation period achieving a maximum speed ...

SNAKE-LIKE ROBOT RECTILINEAR MOTION ANALYSIS
TECHNICAL SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGIES, 2019 Urgency of the research. Some animal locomotion mechanisms are often used for robot designing because of their appropriate properties for some kinds of environments. A snake has excellent skeletal structure which provides it advantageous properties for reaching places where other kinds of mechanisms cannot move and operate. Target setting.

Dynamic Analysis and Path Control of a Snake Like Robot [PDF]
International Journal of Advanced Design and Manufacturing Technology, 2009 In this paper a modular wheel less snake-like robot by considering viscous friction is modeled. The motion equations of the robot are derived. Then by imitating a real snake motion, the robot is controlled on the way that tracks the predefined trajectory.
