GMD-Snake: A Semi-Autonomous Snake-like Robot
1996Although locomotion of biological snakes is neither fast nor efficient, it is very flexible in a sense that it allows to move on rough surfaces, creep into tubes or cross obstacles. So an artificial snake may be used for inspection and manipulation in areas where motion is restricted.

Virtual chassis for snake robots
2011 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2011We present a new method of defining a body coordinate frame for locomoting snake robots. Representing the motion of snake robots from the perspective of the robot is difficult because the internal shape changes that the robot uses to locomote interact with world in a complex way.

Climbing with Snake-Like Robots
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2001Abstract This paper presents an implementation of a long serial chain robot that can climb stairs in a “snake-biting-its-tail” loop form, climb up ramps using a travelling wave gait and by adding small spikes or cleats it can also climb near vertical porous materials.

2017 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2017
Since the minimally invasive surgery has significant benefits for the patient, special equipment and techniques are constantly enhanced in this relatively new surgical field, so that more challenging surgical applications can be achieved. Thereby, the major aim is to enable the surgeon to manipulate instruments inside the human body intuitively ...

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 ...

Design of Combined Snake Robot
2007The paper is deals with mechanical construction design and simulation of designed structure of combined snake robot. This robot can be used for various applications. Universality of the solution is assigned by special construction of snake robot. This construction is consisting of independent segments design.

Towards Snakes and Snake Robots on Grannular Terrain
2012Abstract : Autonomous ground vehicles are becoming more and more prevalent in today s military. Despite the success of various EOD vehicles, the use of ground vehicles is quite limited by their mobility. Current vehicles have trouble on granular surfaces such as sand. Moreover, conventional vehicles are limited to relatively flat terrains. The proposed

Snake-Like and Continuum Robots
2016This chapter provides an overview of the state of the art of snake-like (backbones comprised of many small links) and continuum (continuous backbone) robots. The history of each of these classes of robot is reviewed, focusing on key hardware developments. A review of the existing theory and algorithms for kinematics for both types of robot is presented,
