Dense-Joint-Based Obstacle-Aided Locomotion with a Joint-Repositionable Snake Robot
Kyosuke Minomo, Ryo Takahashi, Kotaro Yasui +3
Obstacle-aided locomotion is a fundamental capability for snake robots to traverse complex environments. However, conventional rigid-link snake robots often suffer from stagnation…
A Reconfigurable Tracked Robot for Enhanced Obstacle Traversal Through Movable Articulation Point and Internal Mass Relocation
Yuki Uda, Yasutaka Nakashima, Motoji Yamamoto +1
Tracked robots are widely used in unstructured environments; however, their obstacle traversal capability is fundamentally limited by a tradeoff between front-end reachability and…
Distal-Stable Beam for Continuum Robots
Ryouichi Saito, Takahiro Koide, Yuya Tanaka +3
Continuum robots are well suited for constrained environments but suffer from low distal stiffness, resulting in large posture errors under external loads. In this paper, we propos…
Joint-repositionable Inner-wireless Planar Snake Robot
Ayato Kanada, Ryo Takahashi, Keito Hayashi +8
Bio-inspired multi-joint snake robots offer the advantages of terrain adaptability due to their limbless structure and high flexibility. However, a series of dozens of motor units…
