Continuous body 3-D reconstruction of limbless animals
Qiyuan Fu, Thomas W. Mitchel, Jin Seob Kim +2
Limbless animals such as snakes, limbless lizards, worms, eels, and lampreys move their slender, long bodies in three dimensions to traverse diverse environments. Accurately quanti…
Lateral oscillation and body compliance help snakes and snake robots stably traverse large, smooth obstacles
Qiyuan Fu, Sean W. Gart, Thomas W. Mitchel +3
Snakes can move through almost any terrain. Similarly, snake robots hold the promise as a versatile platform to traverse complex environments like earthquake rubble. Unlike snake l…
Snakes partition their body to traverse large steps stably
Sean W. Gart, Thomas W. Mitchel, Chen Li
Many snakes live in deserts, forests, and river valleys and traverse challenging 3-D terrain like rocks, felled trees, and rubble, with obstacles as large as themselves and variabl…
