Ground condition sensing of a snalee-like robot

摘要

Snake-like robot has its unique locomotion mode and can change its locomotion form while the ground condition changed, to achieve the best velocity and efficiency. We first analyze the snake-like robot's locomotion on different terrains simply, then point out the significance to sense the ground status that is the base of choosing different locomotion form on different ground. Last we use force sensors to distinguish the different ground status.
