Abstract

Hyper-redundancy concept and related mechanisms are actually of special interest in robotics research. Trajectory planning and obstacle avoidance seem to be the main research areas where the use of hyper-redundancy is considered. However, there is few prototypes of this kind of robots. Present work is the introduction part of a larger study aiming the construction of an hyper-redundant, particularly a snake-like robot supposed to progress as a real snake, without limbs nor wheels. It represents a first approach to a simulation of a snake-like mechanism in order to get basic characteristics of a such locomotion.
