| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, I have proposed an algorithm that a snake-like robot moves reactively based on information of contact sensor, such that the snake-like robot utilizes obstacles existing in an environment. The effectiveness of proposed algorithm is verified by experiments of a dynamical simulation model and a real mechanical model. From the experimental results, it is verified that the snake-like robot realize an efficient locomotion by the reactive motion. On the other hand, I also confirmed that we need another algorithm that considers friction force between a robot and an obstacle to improve the locomotion.
