Research Abstract |
We conducted the research on snake-like robots toward the following goals: (1) establishment of theory on control, (2) invention of novel mechanisms and (3) development of practical robots for narrow space investigations. As a result of our study, we built up a practical control system based on continuous curve model, and successfully developed practical snake-like robots by introducing innovative mechanisms.
