Ke Xianxin, Xin Jizhong, Yang Yang. Research Status of Movement and Connection Modes of Snake-like Robot[J]. 2015,39(4):182-186. DOI: 10.16578/j.issn.1004.2539.2015.04.045.
First of all,the four modes of common motion,named serpentine locomotion,traveling wave motion,sideway motion and helical motion are analyzed.Then,for the connection mode of the joint of snake like robot,the characteristics and application range of the mature parallel connection,orthogonal connection,universal joint connection and P-R connection are compared and analyzed.Finally,the future development trend of the connection modes of the snake like robot is given.
