This paper introduces the gait motion of climbing ladder and net for a snake robot using partial caging. These gait motions only involve little contact between the snake robot and the environment, where the robot may slip down easily. A target body shape is proposed that incorporates partial caging
In this study, we designed an opposite helix gait for object transportation using a non-wheeled snake robot. The proposed gait enables straight motion, turning motion, and pivot turning motion, allowing the robot to transport objects without ground contact. The target shape of the proposed gait feat
This letter proposes two types of connecting parts for the obstacle-aided locomotion of a non-wheeled snake robot to move between two planes. One method involves lifting the robot's head vertically, while the other method involves winding around an obstacle to avoid toppling over when moving to a hi
