Self-adaptive rolling motion for snake robots in unstructured environments based on torque control
Biomimetic Intelligence and Robotics, 2023 Snake robots have great potential for exploring and operating in challenging unstructured environments, such as rubble, caves, and narrow pipelines. However, due to the complexity and unpredictability of unstructured environments, designing a controller ...

Perception-Driven Obstacle-Aided Locomotion for Snake Robots: The State of the Art, Challenges and Possibilities † [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2017 In nature, snakes can gracefully traverse a wide range of different and complex environments. Snake robots that can mimic this behaviour could be fitted with sensors and transport tools to hazardous or confined areas that other robots and humans are ...

Gait Generation Method of Snake Robot Based on Main Characteristic Curve Fitting
Biomimetics, 2023 Gait generation method is one of the important contents of snake robot motion control. Different gait generation methods produce completely different forms of control functions, so snake robots need more complicated programming logic and processes to ...

Curvilinear Kirigami Skins Let Soft Bending Actuators Slither Faster
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2022 The locomotion of soft snake robots is dependent on frictional interactions with the environment. Frictional anisotropy is a morphological characteristic of snakeskin that allows snakes to engage selectively with surfaces and generate propulsive forces ...

Snakes on a Plane: Modeling, Estimation and Locomotion for Planar Snake robots in Cluttered Environments [PDF]
, 2023 Snake robots are mechanisms designed to mimic biological snakes, and aspire to inherit the robustness and stability of their biological counterparts. As of yet, this is a largely unrealized potential.

Modeling of underwater snake robots [PDF]
2014 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2014 Increasing efficiency by improving the locomotion methods is a key issue for underwater robots. Hence, an accurate dynamic model is important for both controller design and efficient locomotion methods. This paper presents a model of the kinematics and dynamics of a planar, underwater snake robot aimed at control design.
