Improved Integrated Robotic Intraocular Snake
2020 International Symposium on Medical Robotics (ISMR), 2020 Retinal surgery can be performed only by surgeons possessing advanced surgical skills because of the small, confined intraocular space, and the restricted free motion of instruments in contact with the sclera. Snake-like robots could be essential for use in retinal surgery to overcome this problem.

Shape sensing of miniature snake-like robots using optical fibers [PDF]
, 2017 Snake like continuum robots are increasingly used for minimally invasive surgery. Most robotic devices of this sort that have been reported to date are controlled in an open loop manner. Using shape sensing to provide closed loop feedback would allow for

International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology, 2022 Abstract: Every animal on earth has its own distinct feature and is capable of surviving on its own. Throughout history, humans have been inspired by the characteristics of animals to solve mankind's challenges. Reptiles possess various characteristics which can be used to solve societal issues when imparted in the form of a robot.

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.

International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2017 Due to the great adaptability, snake-like robots can serve as special intelligent service robots. In this article, a novel triple-layered central pattern generator (CPG)-based controller is proposed to control the 3D locomotion of snake-like robots.
