Abstract :
The paper deals with the analysis of the snake rectilinear motion and from both the biological and the engineering points of view. The bionics knowledge enables more detailed insight to the problematic of the snake locomotion applicable at the design of the robotic snakes. The paper shows the analysis of the simplified model of the snake performed for determination of both the kinematic parameters and the characteristics of the actuating units utilized with probable design project.
