Every year, especially in urban areas, the population density rises quickly. The effects of
catastrophes (ie, war, earthquake, fire, tsunami) on people are therefore significant and …

Legged robots have significant potential to operate in unstructured environments. The
design of locomotion control is, however, still challenging. Currently, controllers must be …

The unique frictional properties conferred by snake ventral scales inspired the engineering
and fabrication of surrogate mechanisms for a robotic snake. These artificial, biologically …

Modular robots can be rapidly reconfigured into customized articulated legged
morphologies capable of mobile manipulation and inspection. However, current gait …

Every mobile robot needs some mechanisms to make them able to move. The most
frequently used one is wheels, as their simplicity and low power consumption is appealing …

Japan is located in a seismic zone and is hence affected by earthquakes, which
necessitates frequent disaster rescue activities. It is difficult for humans to access the site of …

Traveling wave locomotion of snake robot considers one of the efficient locomotion that can
