To combine the flexibility of soft robotics and the portability and efficiency of traditional electrical actuation, I took part in designing and controlling this self-contained, lightweight, low cost and flexible origami robotic snake (OriSnake). Note: Origami is the Japanese art of creating structures and objects by folding paper. Taking inspiration from this technique, we can create…
Robots offer great promise in assisting search-and rescue operations in extremely uncertain and cluttered environments after a variety of disasters. The simple structure of a snake robot has the capability to traverse complex, constrained, 3-D environments (small gaps, tough terrain). Snake robots have been developed using traditional robotic structures composed of rigid links and discrete joints, though capable of snake-like motion, suffer from a…
