— This article presents a control architecture for controlling the locomotion of an amphibious snake/lamprey robot capable of swimming and serpentine locomotion. The control arch...
The purpose of this research is to realize a small robot which can negotiate pipes whose diameter varies widely during the robot’s course. A new in-pipe locomotion mechanism nam...
Abstract— Intelligently utilizing the frictional contact between a robot and its environment can prevent slip, maintain balance, and provide stability during a robot’s motion. ...
