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 …

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 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 …

This paper presents a survey on mobile robots as systems that can move in different
environments with walking, flying and swimming up to solutions that combine those …

Snake robots have the potential to make substantial contributions in areas such as rescue
missions, firefighting, and maintenance where it may either be too narrow or too dangerous …

This article presents a test bed for comprehensive study of a cable-driven hyper-redundant
robot in terms of mechanical design, kinematics analysis, and experimental verification. To …

This chapter provides an overview of the state of the art of snake-like (backbones comprised
of many small links) and continuum (continuous backbone) robots. The history of each of …

In this study, we propose a new robot system consisting of a mobile robot and a snake robot.
The system works not only as a mobile manipulator but also as a multi-agent system by …

Intelligent rescue systems with high information and robot technology have been expected
to mitigate disaster damages, especially in Japan after the 1995 Hanshin-Awaji earthquake …

In this paper, we develop an articulated mobile robot that can climb stairs, and also move in
narrow spaces and on 3-D terrain. This paper presents two control methods for this robot …
