Reconstruction of Backbone Curves for Snake Robots

RA-L 2021

Snake robots composed of alternating single-axis pitch and yaw joints have many internal degrees of freedom, which make them capable of versatile three-dimensional locomotion. In motion planning process, snake robot motions are often designed kinematically by a chronological sequence of continuous b

Optimizing coordinate choice for locomotion systems with toroidal shape spaces

IROS 2020poster

In a geometric mechanics framework, the configuration space is decomposed into a shape space and a position space. The internal motion of the system is prescribed by a closed loop in the shape space, which causes net motion in the position space. If the shape space is a simply connected domain in an…
