Ladder Climbing with a Snake Robot
2018 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2018This paper presents a method that allows a snake robot to climb a ladder. We propose a ladder climbing method for a snake robot that has a smooth surface shape. We design a novel gait for the snake using a gait design method that configures the target form of the snake robot by connecting simple shapes. The climbing motion is executed via shift control

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.

Locomotive reduction for snake robots
2015 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2015Limbless locomotion, evidenced by both biological and robotic snakes, capitalizes on these systems' redundant degrees of freedom to negotiate complicated environments. While the versatility of locomotion methods provided by a snake-like form is of great advantage, the difficulties in both representing the high dimensional workspace configuration and ...

Development of a Snake-like Robot
1996In spite of the wide theoretical capabilities they are attributed, the use of snake-like mobile robots is still limited, partly because the control of such systems is difficult, and requires a high computational cost, even in very simple situations. In this paper we described the design of a wheeled hyperredundant robot that can perform 3-dimensional ...

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.

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.
