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
