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 …

In nature, snakes can gracefully traverse a wide range of different and complex
environments. Snake robots that can mimic this behaviour could be fitted with sensors and …

In this study, a comprehensive review of achievements in the self‐reconfigurable modular
robotics field and future directions are given. Self‐reconfigurable modular robots (SRMRs) …

Snakes utilize irregularities in the terrain, such as rocks and vegetation, for faster and more
efficient locomotion. This motivates the development of snake robots that actively use the …

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 …

A nonsmooth (hybrid) 3-D mathematical model of a snake robot (without wheels) is
developed and experimentally validated in this paper. The model is based on the framework …

This paper presents locomotion control for a robotic snake that adaptively travels over
rugged terrain using obstacles as supports. This kind of locomotion can typically be found in …

We present a navigation approach for reconfigurable snake-like robots to autonomously
overcome unknown and challenging obstacles like stairs or large steps. To calculate …

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 …

Exploring and navigating in extreme environments, such as caves, oceans, and planetary
bodies, are often too hazardous for humans, and as such, robots are possible surrogates …
