Biologically Inspired Snake-like Robots

2004 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics, 2005
We have developed the snake-like robot since 1972. The body of snake has "the function of an arm" when it holds something by coiling itself and also has "the function of legs" when it moves by creeping. The body of ACM has several functions, which are fulfilled one after another according to the situation.

Snake robot free climbing

Proceedings of International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2002
Autonomous snake robot locomotion in rough terrain depends on the robot's ability to rise from a horizontal position to a vertical. At first sight, lifting N body segments seems to require O(N) dynamic torque. However, in this paper we describe a practical algorithm, which requires only O(1) dynamic torque.

Bio-Inspired Snake Robots

2018
This chapter concerns modelling and control of snake robots. Specifically, the authors' main goal is introducing some of the fundamental design, modelling, and control approaches introduced for efficient snake robot locomotion in cluttered environments.

Snake robot-free climbing

IEEE Control Systems, 1998
Autonomous snake robot locomotion in rough terrain depends on the robot's ability to rise from a horizontal position to a vertical, for its ability to climb obstacles. At first sight, lifting N body segments seems to require O(N/sup 2/) dynamic torque.

Snake robots to the rescue!

IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine, 2002
The utilization of autonomous intelligent robots in search and rescue (SAR) is a new and challenging field of robotics, dealing with tasks in extremely hazardous and complex disaster environments. Autonomy, high mobility, robustness, and modularity are critical design issues of rescue robotics, requiring dexterous devices equipped with the ability to ...

GMD-Snake: A Semi-Autonomous Snake-like Robot

1996
Although locomotion of biological snakes is neither fast nor efficient, it is very flexible in a sense that it allows to move on rough surfaces, creep into tubes or cross obstacles. So an artificial snake may be used for inspection and manipulation in areas where motion is restricted.

Virtual chassis for snake robots

2011 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2011
We present a new method of defining a body coordinate frame for locomoting snake robots. Representing the motion of snake robots from the perspective of the robot is difficult because the internal shape changes that the robot uses to locomote interact with world in a complex way.

Climbing with Snake-Like Robots

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2001
Abstract 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.

Multi-arm snake-like robot

2017 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2017
Since the minimally invasive surgery has significant benefits for the patient, special equipment and techniques are constantly enhanced in this relatively new surgical field, so that more challenging surgical applications can be achieved. Thereby, the major aim is to enable the surgeon to manipulate instruments inside the human body intuitively ...
