Review of Snake Robots in Constrained Environments
Abstract Snake robots have advantages of terrain adaptability over wheeled mobile robots and traditional articulated robot arms because of their limbless thin body structure and high flexibility. They have extensive applications in tasks such as rescue, disaster recovery, inspection and minimally invasive surgery.

Control and Design of Snake Robots
Snake robots are ideally suited to highly confined environments because their small cross-sections and highly redundant kinematics allow them to enter and move through tight spaces with a high degree of dexterity. Despite these theoretical advantages, snake robots also pose a number of practical challenges that have limited their usefulness in the ...

Review of the Latest Research on Snake Robots Focusing on the Structure, Motion and Control Method
Unlike other types of robots, the snake robot performs unique motions and can move on various terrains such as gravel, stairs, and pipes. Therefore, snake robots are used as exploration robots, rescue robots, and disaster robots. However, the snake robot

Object grasping is one of the basic functions required for many manipulator tasks. In particular, the grasping of unknown objects is often a desired functionality in manipulator system applications ranging from space exploration to factory automation. Due to the amount of object and environment data typically required to execute an unknown object grasp,

Snake P3: A semi-autonomous Snake robot
2010 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics, 2010Here in this paper we present a snake robot which can autonomously change its gait depending on the terrain. Also we present the design and construction details for the same. Here a custom simulator for the robot and an API for the same was developed which reduced the design and development time.

Design of a modular snake robot
2007 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2007Many factors such as size, power, and weight constrain the design of modular snake robots. Meeting these constraints requires implementing a complex mechanical and electrical architecture. Here we present our solution, which involves the construction of sixteen aluminum modules and creation of the Super Servo, a modified hobby servo.

State estimation for snake robots
2011 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2011We present a comparison of methods to estimate the shape and orientation of a locomoting snake robot by fusing the robot's redundant internal proprioceptive sensors using and Extended Kalman Filter (EKF). All of the estimators used in this work represent the shape of the snake with gait parameters to reduce the complexity of the robot configuration ...

Development of a creeping snake-robot
Proceedings 2001 IEEE International Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Robotics and Automation (Cat. No.01EX515), 2002Biological snakes' diverse locomotion modes and physiology make them supremely adapted for environment. The special structure of snakes and their unique movement offer them peculiar ability of climbing and moving even in some ill-conditioned environments such as on the marshland or in narrow tubes. Using these snakes' noticeable features into robots is
