  • Abstract
    In this paper, we realized CPG-based controller of a snake-like robot that is adaptable to changing ground fricitonal condition. In the proposed method, the controller is based on Ekeberg´s CPG model and sensory input from frictional force sensors are fed back to CPG. Using parameter optimization by GA, adaptation of meandering locomotion is realized.
