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.

Control of a Snake Robot With Proximity Sensors to Adapt for Two Variable Planes

IEEE Access
This paper proposes a control method for a snake robot to move between two planes amidst changing environmental conditions. The proposed approach uses a proximity sensor affixed to the robot to estimate its position and orientation relative to the plane.

Fundamental properties of snake robot locomotion [PDF]

2010 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2010
This paper presents a set of fundamental properties of the velocity of a snake robot conducting lateral undulation on a planar surface. In particular, the derived properties state that the average forward velocity of the snake robot 1) is proportional to the squared amplitude of the sinusoidal motion of each joint of the robot, 2) is proportional to ...

A survey on snake robot modeling and locomotion [PDF]

Robotica, 2009
SUMMARYSnake robots have the potential to make substantial contributions in areas such as rescue missions, firefighting, and maintenance where it may either be too narrow or too dangerous for personnel to operate. During the last 10–15 years, the published literature on snake robots has increased significantly.

Stress History Establishes a Transient Tolerant State That Shapes Antibiotic Survival Upon Resuscitation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
High‐throughput single‐cell analysis of resuscitating bacteria reveals a starvation‐history‐dependent transiently tolerant subpopulation that survives β$\beta$‐lactam exposure by temporarily reducing growth. Distinct from classical persisters, these actively growing yet dynamically modulated cells dominate survival across clinically relevant antibiotic
