Autonomous collision-free behavior of a snake-like robot

, 2010
As we know, a snake-like robot imitating the locomotion of real snakes can adapt to many kinds of environments. A successful collision-free behavior is necessary for adaptive locomotion of the snake-like robot.

Arboreal concertina locomotion of snake robots on cylinders

International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2017
This article proposes a novel gait on cylinders for a snake robot as well as arboreal concertina locomotion gait, including the generation method. The gait on the cylinder of a snake robot is a kind of spatial motion planning that is difficult in manual ...

Origami‐Inspired Morphing Fuselage for Agile Fixed‐Wing Flight

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Conventional aircraft steer with rigid control surfaces. SoAR instead replaces the fuselage itself with a cable‐driven origami continuum body that bends in 3D and compresses on demand. Whole‐fuselage morphing steers fixed‐wing flight: achieving sharp, near‐zero‐radius turns and rapid braking without ailerons, rudder, or elevator, while the same ...

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Methods for Snake-like Robots Based on Gait Adjustment

Biomimetics
Snake robots require autonomous localization and mapping capabilities for field applications. However, the characteristics of their motion, such as large turning angles and fast rotation speeds, can lead to issues like drift or even failure in ...

Optimization of Snake-like Robot Locomotion Using GA: Serpenoid Design

Mendel, 2020
This work investigates the locomotion efficiency of snake-like robots through evolutionary optimization using the simulation framework PhysX (NVIDIA). The Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to find the optimal forward head serpentine gait parameters, and the

Robotic modelling of snake traversing large, smooth obstacles reveals stability benefits of body compliance [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2020
Snakes can move through almost any terrain. Although their locomotion on flat surfaces using planar gaits is inherently stable, when snakes deform their body out of plane to traverse complex terrain, maintaining stability becomes a challenge.
