Applied Sciences, 2023 Image stabilization is important for snake robots to be used as mobile robots. In this paper, we propose an adaptive robust RBF neural network nonsingular terminal sliding mode control to reduce swinging in the snake robot’s head while it is being driven.

Snake robot controlled by biomimetic CPGs
Proceedings of International Conference on Artificial Life and Robotics, 2019 Locomotion is one of the most basic abilities in animals. Neurobiologists have established that locomotion results from the activity of half-center oscillators that provides alternation of bursts. Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) are neural networks capable of producing rhythmic patterned outputs without rhythmic sensory or central input. We propose a
