Snake robots have advantages of terrain adaptability over wheeled mobile robots and
traditional articulated robot arms because of their limbless thin body structure and high …

Snake robots are a suitable solution for various types of applications, especially in rough
terrain or hardly accessible areas such as, for example, pipes. This article deals with a …

This paper presents a finite-time sideslip differentiator-based line-of-sight (LOS) guidance
method for robust path following of snake robots. Firstly, finite-time stable sideslip …

As autonomous cleaning robots advance, we expect certain features, such as higher area
coverage and robustness. To explore these features and their challenges, we need tools …

This paper presents an analytical description and experimental results for a reconfigurable
field robot that can climb inside circular and rectangular pipes. The robot is fitted with two …

The joint hydraulic drive unit (HDU) serves as a pivotal element in enabling the high-
performance movements of legged robots. Functioning as the conduit linking the oil source …

In-situ maintenance is of great significance for improving the efficiency and ensuring the
safety of aeroengines. The cable-driven continuum robot (CDCR) with twin-pivot compliant …

Unlike other types of robots, the snake robot performs unique motions and can move on
various terrains such as gravel, stairs, and pipes. Therefore, snake robots are used as …

Snake robots have been a topic of discussion among researchers for decades. They are
potentially strong enough to bring substantial contributions to the fields which are …

Many complex vehicular systems, such as large marine vessels, contain confined spaces
like water tanks, which are critical for the safe functioning of the vehicles. It is particularly …
