Control of a snake robot with 3R joint mechanism
, 2018The control of a snake robot on the flat and inclined surfaces is difficult due to different sequences of actuation of actuators. This paper explains the control of two sets of three revolute joint mechanism in the snake robot with the help of servo ...

Summary1. Current theories of ophidian evolution suggest that the snakes have been derived either from aquatic, above‐ground terrestrial, or burrowing ancestors. It is generally supposed that the ancestors of snakes, irrespective of their habits, were closely related to the platynotid lizards.

Kinematic gait synthesis for snake robots
Int. J. Robotics Res., 2016Snake robots are highly articulated mechanisms that can perform a variety of motions that conventional robots cannot. Despite many demonstrated successes of snake robots, these mechanisms have not been able to achieve the agility displayed by their ...

Curvilinear shapes and the snake detection hypothesis: An ERP study.
Psychophysiology, 2016Consistent with the snake detection hypothesis, previous ERP studies have established a larger early posterior negativity (EPN) in response to pictures depicting snakes than to pictures depicting other creatures.

Effects of Snake Venoms on Snakes
Copeia, 1946IN 1931 I started a series of experiments on snake venoms in order to procure comparative data on the effects of venoms on various species of snakes. The war brought the work to a standstill in 1941, after I had concluded 58 experiments. Although the small number of experiments does not permit definite conclusions to be drawn, the work is now ...

Detection of Snake Fungal Disease Due to Ophidiomyces ophiodiicola in Virginia, USA
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2016Snake fungal disease (SFD) is an emerging disease of wildlife believed to be caused by Ophidiomyces ophiodiicola. Although geographic and host ranges have yet to be determined, this disease is characterized by crusty scales, superficial pustules, and ...

Abstract 1. 1. Plasma from 24 species and subspecies of snakes were examined by starch gel electrophoresis for the presence of haptoglobin. 2. 2. Haptoglobin was found in 17 species. In the remaining 7, no demonstrable haptoglobin was found. 3. 3. No evidence of intra-specific variation was found. 4. 4.
