Environment-Adaptable Locomotion of a Snake-Like Robot

摘要

Biological snakes’ diverse locomotion modes and physiology make them supremely adapted for the ground. This paper discusses the Biological snakes’ locomotion mode on the diverse ground, and describes the environment-adaptable locomotion of a snake-like robot. The method to realize some locomotion modes is given. The method for detecting the characteristic of ground is proposed and identified in test.
