This paper considers path following control of snake robots along straight paths. The proposed controller propels the snake robot forward according to the motion pattern lateral undulation while simultaneously adjusting the heading of the robot according to a line-of-sight guidance law that steers the robot towards and subsequently along the desired path. Under the assumption that the forward velocity...
