Locomotion is typically studied either in continuous media where bodies and legs
experience forces generated by the flowing medium or on solid substrates dominated by …

Snake robots composed of alternating single-axis pitch and yaw joints have many internal
degrees of freedom, which make them capable of versatile three-dimensional locomotion. In …

This paper studies the target tracking control strategy of a snake robot and proposes an
adaptive sliding mode control method. The strategy ensures the robot follows the target path …

Sidewinding, a locomotion strategy characterized by the coordination of lateral and vertical
body undulations, is frequently observed in rattlesnakes and has been successfully …

Reorientation (turning in plane) plays a critical role for all robots in any field application,
especially those that in confined spaces. While important, reorientation remains a relatively …

Self-propelling organisms locomote via generation of patterns of self-deformation. Despite
the diversity of body plans, internal actuation schemes and environments in limbless …

Animals move in a variety of environments throughout their lifetime. Limbed animals use
their appendages to make and break discrete contact with their surroundings and generate …

Gaits engineered for snake-like robots to rotate in-place instrumentally fill a gap in the set of
locomotive gaits that have traditionally prioritized translation. This paper designs a Turn-in …

Objective: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the anti-hyperlipidemic activity
of ethanolic extract of Impatiens balsamina using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model …
