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 …

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 …

This paper details the design and architecture of a series elastic actuated snake robot, the
SEA Snake. The robot consists of a series chain of 1-DOF modules that are capable of …

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 …

This article reviews the state of the art in evaluating snake robots for small spaces such as a
collapsed building where the snake is either locomoting in restricted maneuverability …

We present a method of achieving whole‐body compliant motions with a snake robot that
allows the robot to automatically adapt to the shape of its environment. This feature is …

State-of-the-art distributed algorithms for reinforcement learning rely on multiple
independent agents, which simultaneously learn in parallel environments 1 while …

Despite advances in a diversity of environments, snake robots are still far behind snakes in
traversing complex 3-D terrain with large obstacles. This is due to a lack of understanding of …
