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 ...

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)

Simulation of a Novel Snake-Like Robot
2006This research focuses on simulation of a new snake-like robot. Most of the snake-like robots developed until now are based on the lateral undulation mode of locomotion. Nevertheless, it seems difficult to apply this mode of locomotion in realistic conditions such as non-planar and complex grounds, since most of these robots use wheels.

Analysis of snake movement forms for realization of snake-like robots
Proceedings 1999 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (Cat. No.99CH36288C), 2003This research aims to discover the mechanism and principle for the emergence of the snakes' movement in order to realize a snake-like robot. In this study, we elucidate the standard creeping movement form of a snake, which is the typical locomotive motion shown by snakes.

Mechanism Design and Locomotion of a Snake Robot
2013As a high redundancy system with high stability and adaptability, disaster rescue robot is widely used in collapsed buildings for search and rescue work. In the paper, a snake-like robot based on cylinder module is developed. The robot prototype consists of eleven modules that are connected by revolute joints.

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
