Experiments on physical continuum robot are the gold standard for evaluations. Currently, as no commercial continuum robot platform is available, a large variety of early-stage prototypes exists.

Abstract: The Baxter® humanoid robot made by Rethink Robotics™ offers users an affordable platform with guaranteed safety for both academic and industrial applications. The platform provides the users ...

Trajectory planning and tracking control play a vital role in the development of autonomous mobile robots. To fulfill the tasks of trajectory planning and tracking control of a Mecanum-wheeled ...

Abstract: In order to study the winding motion of a multi-joint snake-like robot with multi-degree of redundancy in plane, a motion planning algorithm of a multi-joint snake-like robot based on ...

Drag anisotropy is believed to be the critical principle which enables effective undulatory swimming in flowable media. Here, we show that undulatory locomotion with leg retraction/ protraction can be ...

In this experimental and theoretical study, we investigate the slithering of snakes on flat surfaces. Previous studies of slithering have rested on the assumption that snakes slither by pushing ...
