This work describes a mobile system that has been developed to precisely and reliably carry out echolocation experiments (data collection) for later analysis. A Kobuki robot was used as a base unit, providing mobility and accurate odometry. Custom mounting hardware was designed for the robot to accommodate a laptop for controlling the robot, along with a Microsoft Kinect sensor and ultrasonic transducers...
Biologically inspired snake robots have been widely studied for their various motion patterns. Most research has focused on the design of a controller for a given motion pattern. However, relatively limited work appears to have been done on the design of a controller for self-adaptive locomotion. In this brief, we add sensory inputs to a control system in order to investigate collision avoidance in...
Biologically inspired control approaches based on the central pattern generator (CPG) have been studied to apply to a snake-like robot. One of the important problems is to determine how to construct a sensor-driven neural system in order to control the robot for adaptive locomotion. To solve this problem, a sensor-based neural network is presented in this paper. To realize collision-free behavior...
As we know, a snake-like robot imitating the locomotion of real snakes can adapt to many kinds of environments. A successful collision-free behavior is necessary for adaptive locomotion of the snake-like robot. Many researchers have used Amplitude Modulation Method (AMM) to realize the turn motion of the snake robot. However, most of them are only qualitative studies without any concrete analysis...
Inspired from the natural motion of snakes, a head-navigated locomotion is proposed for snake-like robots in this paper. Different from the traditional serpentine motion, the head of the snake-like robot would always maintain its direction along the forward direction of the whole robot. By utilizing this particular characteristic, the obstacles in front of the undulatory motion could be detected conveniently...
