RESEARCH ON THE LOCOMOTION MECHANISM OF THE SNAKE-LIKE ROBOT

This paper presents a snake-like robot. The structure of the snake-like robot is discussed. The locomotion mechanism and the geometry analysis of the snake-like robot are analyzed carefully. The control algorithm based on the locomotion mechanism and the geometry analysis is also deduced. The snake-like robot can move forward and backward controlled by the algorithm. The snake-like robot can reveal the locomotion of the real snake in some degree.
