Serpentine Locomotion of a Snake-like Robot in Water Environment
, 2009 Serpentine Locomotion is the most common and simplest locomotion form of a snake-like robot; its main characteristic is the wave-like undulation of the snake's body. In order to realize the noticeable features of the snake-like robot's serpentine

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Snake robot controlled by biomimetic CPGs
Proceedings of International Conference on Artificial Life and Robotics, 2019 Locomotion is one of the most basic abilities in animals. Neurobiologists have established that locomotion results from the activity of half-center oscillators that provides alternation of bursts. Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) are neural networks capable of producing rhythmic patterned outputs without rhythmic sensory or central input. We propose a

HISSbot: Sidewinding with a Soft Snake Robot
2023 IEEE International Conference on Soft Robotics (RoboSoft), 2023 Snake robots are characterized by their ability to navigate through small spaces and loose terrain by utilizing efficient cyclic forms of locomotion. Soft snake robots are a subset of these robots which utilize soft, compliant actuators to produce movement. Prior work on soft snake robots has primarily focused on planar gaits, such as undulation.
