This paper provides an overview of previous literature on snake robot locomotion. In
particular, the paper considers previous research efforts related to modelling of snake …

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 …

Snake Robots is a novel treatment of theoretical and practical topics related to snake robots:
robotic mechanisms designed to move like biological snakes and able to operate in …

In this study, a modified linear technique is proposed for the controllability and observability
of robotic arms, the modified linear technique consists of the following steps: a …

This paper proposes and experimentally validates a straight line path following controller for
underwater snake robots in the presence of constant irrotational currents of unknown …

Increasing efficiency by improving locomotion methods is a key issue for underwater robots.
Moreover, a number of different control design challenges must be solved to realize …

Disaster response, especially fire-fighting and rescue, is highly risky for firefighters engaged
in action. As a result, many robots intended for fire-fighting have been proposed. However, it …

This paper investigates the problem of maneuvering control for planar snake robots. The
control objective is to make the center of mass of the snake robot converge to a desired path …

This work investigates adaptive stiffness control and motion optimization of a snake-like
robot with variable stiffness actuators. The robot can vary its stiffness by controlling magneto …

In the present paper, a dynamic analysis is presented, comparing three snake-like robot
gaits: lateral undulation, sidewinding locomotion, and sinus-lifting motion. To simplify …
