Robotic modelling of snake traversing large, smooth obstacles reveals stability benefits of body compliance [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Snakes can move through almost any terrain. Although their locomotion on flat surfaces using planar gaits is inherently stable, when snakes deform their body out of plane to traverse complex terrain, maintaining stability becomes a challenge.

Neural oscillator network-based controller for meandering locomotion of snake-like robots
, 2004 In this paper, we propose a control architecture for meandering locomotion of snake-like robots based on neural oscillator network (NON). The proposed architecture is composed of a network of central pattern generators (CPGs) to realize propagation of ...

Arboreal concertina locomotion of snake robots on cylinders
International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2017 This article proposes a novel gait on cylinders for a snake robot as well as arboreal concertina locomotion gait, including the generation method. The gait on the cylinder of a snake robot is a kind of spatial motion planning that is difficult in manual ...
