Efficient Locomotion on Non-wheeled Snake-like Robots
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article presents our current work on studying energy efficient locomotion on crawling snake-like robots. The aim of this work is to use existing biological inspired methods to demonstrate lateral undulation planar gaits for efficiently controlling high-speed motion as a function of the terrain surface. A multilink non-wheeled snake-like robot is being developed for experimentation and analysis of efficient serpentine locomotion based on simulation results.

Bio-inspired locomotion for a modular snake robot [7321-14]
Inspired by the snake locomotion, modular snake robots have different locomotion capabilities by coordinating their internal degrees of freedom. They have the potential to access restricted spaces where humans cannot go. They can also traverse rough terrains while conventional wheeled and legged robots cannot. Modular robots have other features including versatility, robustness, low-cost, and f...
متن کاملExperimental Study on Control of Redundant 3D Snake Robot based on Kinematic Model
Unique and interesting gait of the snakes makes them able to crawl, climb a hill, climb a tree by winding and move on very slippery floor. Snake does not have hands and legs, however it has many function. It is useful to consider and understand the mechanism of the gait of the snakes for mechanical design and control law of snake robots. Snake robots is active code mechanism and is usefule for ...
متن کاملControl of Wheeled Mobile Manipulators with Flexible Suspension Considering Wheels Slip Effects
Wheeled mobile manipulators utilize both the locomotion capabilities of the wheeled platform and manipulation capacity of the arm. While the modelling and control of such systems have previously been studied, most of them have considered robots with rigid suspension and their wheels are subject to pure rolling conditions. To relax the aforementioned limiting assumptions, this research addresses...
متن کاملBiologically Inspired Spiking Neural Network for Autonomous Locomotion Control of Snake-Like Robots
Snake-like robots have been widely studied due to their special 3D locomotion ability and the adaptability in diverse complex environments. Autonomous locomotion, that is, acquiring environment information, making locomotion decisions independently and then performing locomotion, is of the essence for snake-like robots to complete self-governed tasks in various complex terrain. The traditional ...
متن کاملPerception-Driven Obstacle-Aided Locomotion for Snake Robots: The State of the Art, Challenges and Possibilities
In nature, snakes can gracefully traverse a wide range of different and complex environments. Snake robots that can mimic this behaviour could be fitted with sensors and transport tools to hazardous or confined areas that other robots and humans are unable to access. In order to carry out such tasks, snake robots must have a high degree of awareness of their surroundings (i.e., perception-drive...
