T-snakes: Topology adaptive snakes
Medical Image Analysis, 2000We present a new class of deformable contours (snakes) and apply them to the segmentation of medical images. Our snakes are defined in terms of an affine cell image decomposition (ACID). The 'snakes in ACID' framework significantly extends conventional snakes, enabling topological flexibility among other features. The resulting topology adaptive snakes,

IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, 2007 Active contours, or so-called snakes, require some parameters to determine the form of the external force or to adjust the tradeoff between the internal forces and the external forces acting on the active contour. However, the optimal values of these parameters cannot be easily identified in a general sense.

Development of a separable search-and-rescue robot composed of a mobile robot and a snake robot
Adv. Robotics, 2019In this study, we propose a new robot system consisting of a mobile robot and a snake robot. The system works not only as a mobile manipulator but also as a multi-agent system by using the snake robot's ability to separate from the mobile robot ...

Clinical Techniques in Small Animal Practice, 2006
North American coral snakes are distinctively colored beginning with a black snout and an alternating pattern of black, yellow, and red. They have fixed front fangs and a poorly developed system for venom delivery, requiring a chewing action to inject the venom.

Gait Design for a Snake Robot by Connecting Curve Segments and Experimental Demonstration
IEEE Transactions on robotics, 2018This paper presents a method for designing the gait of a snake robot that moves in a complicated environment. We propose a method for expressing the target form of a snake robot by connecting curve segments whose curvature and torsion are already known ...

Snake Charmer: Physically Enabling Virtual Objects
International Conference on Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied Interaction, 2016Augmented and virtual reality have the potential of being indistinguishable from the real world. Holographic displays, including head mounted units, support this vision by creating rich stereoscopic scenes, with objects that appear to float in thin air -

Snake Venom: From Deadly Toxins to Life-saving Therapeutics.
Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2017Snakes are fascinating creatures and have been residents of this planet well before ancient humans dwelled the earth. Venomous snakes have been a figure of fear, and cause notable mortality throughout the world. The venom constitutes families of proteins

Ladder Climbing with a Snake Robot
IEEE/RJS International Conference on Intelligent RObots and Systems, 2018This paper presents a method that allows a snake robot to climb a ladder. We propose a ladder climbing method for a snake robot that has a smooth surface shape.

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice, 2015
Pulmonoscopy is a practical diagnostic tool for investigating respiratory diseases in snakes. Two different approaches exist for pulmonoscopy, tracheal and transcutaneous. The access to the proximal or distal lung is limited by the length and diameter of the endoscope when using the tracheal approach.
