Snake robots have advantages of terrain adaptability over wheeled mobile robots and
traditional articulated robot arms because of their limbless thin body structure and high …

This paper introduces a search-and-rescue robot system used for remote sensing of the
underground coal mine environment, which is composed of an operating control unit and …

In this paper, we present a single actuator wave-like robot, a novel bioinspired robot which
can move forward or backward by producing a continuously advancing wave. The robot has …

This letter presents a minimally actuated Reconfigurable Continuous Track Robot (RCTR).
The RCTR can change its geometry while advancing, thus enabling it to crawl and climb …

Chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive (CBRNE) incident response varies
dramatically based upon the hazardous material, the incident size and the response …

Worm-like robots for applications including maintenance of small pipes and medical
procedures in biological vessels such as the intestines, urethra, and blood vessels, have …

Compliant materials used to create soft robots can better replicate biological structures than
typical rigid materials. We can look to nature for developing locomotion strategies for these …

This work intends to enhance the mobility and flexibility of a tracked mobile robot through
changing its shape in unstructured environments. A shape-shifting mobile robot, AMOEBA-I …

In robotics, a simulation is an essential stage on a way of transferring a theoretical idea into
a real world application. Since each popular simulator for robotics has particular advantages …

Remote robotic explorations for collapsed buildings in a severe disaster are demanded.
However, rescue robots cannot approach the rubble due to safety risks. This study proposes …
