An Amphibious Snake-like Robot with Novel Gaits on Ground and in Water
نویسندگان
چکیده
Amphibious snake-like robots are advantageous than traditional snake-like robots for their adaptability in aquatic environments. This paper presents a novel amphibious snake-like robot. The mechanism and control system of the robot are illustrated. A simplified Serpenoid Curve is used to generate the basic undulation of the robot. Three-dimensional gaits are generated by combining undulations of the robot on the horizontal and vertical planes. Novel gaits are found, including a S-shape rolling gait on the ground and a diving gait in the water. Experiments have been done to validate the gaits and show the performances of the gaits under different control parameters.

In this paper an Energy Dissipation Rate Control (EDRC) method is introduced, which could provide stable walking or running gaits for legged robots. This method is realized by developing a semi-analytical pattern generation approach for a robot during each Single Support Phase (SSP). As yet, several control methods based on passive dynamic walking have been proposed by researchers to provide an...

In this paper, a biologically inspired control architecture for a snake-like robot is proposed to achieve 3D locomotion and realize continuously free gait transition. Based on a novel central pattern generator(CPG) model, which is achieved from the perspective of network synchronization, the control architecture integrates three functional parts. First, following the convergence behavior of the...
