Snake-Like Mobile Robots

Biological snakes’ diverse locomotion modes and physiology make them supremely adapted for environment. When their unique movements are broadly classified, the following four gliding modes exist: 1) Serpentine locomotion; 2) Rectilinear locomotion; 3) Concertina locomotion; 4) Side winding locomotion. However, the serpentine locomotion is the movement seen typically in almost all kinds of snake...

Snake Venom, Anti-snake Venom & Potential of Snake Venom

Many active secretions produced by animals have been employed in the development of new drugs to treat diseases such as hypertension and cancer. Snake venom toxins contributed significantly to the treatment of many medical conditions. Venomous snakes have a bad reputation and rightly so because of their often deadly bites. But what makes a snake’s bite so deadly is the venom. Of the 3000 snake ...

Like a snake in the grass.

The possibility of cloning humans challenges deeply held beliefs about creation and mankind’s relationship with God. If God is seen as the only Creator and creation as a completed act, then there would be no right for man to tamper with it. Others, however, regard God as the Power of Creation and creation as a transformative process, and therefore find a role for human participation. Some Jewis...

Path Planning Algorithm for Snake-like Robots

Snake-like robots have the ability of automatically performing various tasks that require man-equivalent capabilities by reaching areas difficult or impossible to reach for human beings. However, problems in path planning and design of such robots prevent them from being fully functional. In this paper, a path planning algorithm for snakelike robots is presented. Snake-like robots are modeled w...
