Snake and Snake Robot Locomotion in Complex, 3-D Terrain [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Snakes can traverse almost all types of environments by bending their elongate bodies in 3-D to interact with the terrain. Similarly, a snake robot is a promising platform to perform critical tasks in various environments. Understanding how 3-D body bending effectively interacts with the terrain for propulsion and stability can not only inform how ...
