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,

Industrial Robot: An International Journal, 2002
Bringing a new robot to market is an exciting venture. When that robot is a new type of robot the venture takes on new proportions – it becomes an adventure. Dr Rob Buckingham, managing director of OCRobotics Ltd, describes the principles of a new snake arm robot that has applications in a number of industries including aerospace (engines and airframes)

In a number of industrial environments, such as nuclear, chemical, power plants etc., the need for an efficient means for inspection and minor repair which can easily approach any part of the plant in remote or inaccessible sites is eminent. Similar needs arise in tasks such as for fire-fighting reconnaissance, maneuvering through the rubble to look ...

Biologically Inspired Snake-like Robots
2004 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics, 2005We have developed the snake-like robot since 1972. The body of snake has "the function of an arm" when it holds something by coiling itself and also has "the function of legs" when it moves by creeping. The body of ACM has several functions, which are fulfilled one after another according to the situation.

Proceedings of International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2002
Autonomous snake robot locomotion in rough terrain depends on the robot's ability to rise from a horizontal position to a vertical. At first sight, lifting N body segments seems to require O(N) dynamic torque. However, in this paper we describe a practical algorithm, which requires only O(1) dynamic torque.

Autonomous snake robot locomotion in rough terrain depends on the robot's ability to rise from a horizontal position to a vertical, for its ability to climb obstacles. At first sight, lifting N body segments seems to require O(N/sup 2/) dynamic torque.
