| Research Abstract |
Most of previous snake robot's movements are restricted on a two dimensional plane. In this study, we realized a snake robot which moves the inside and the outside of a cylinder by helical rolling motion. The snake robot is constructed by assembling pitch joints and yaw joints alternately so that it can move in the three dimensional environment. The automatic coiling control to adjust to the diameter of a cylinder is implemented. In addition, some experiments was conducted that the snake robot moves the inside of a curvilinear pipe by shifting its shape gradually. Moreover, the contact force affected to a cylinder was analyzed based on mathematical model.
