Abstract :
Based on product design systematic and modularization, aiming at an unknown working environment, the research of snake robot creates a new field for bionic robot research. Based on the requirements such as small size, multi-degree of freedom, light, simple, reliable, cheap and easy to install and maintain, we developed a small snake robot. The robot is made up of the same modules and able to complete various movement methods in their special connection ways. The robot can move by serpentine locomotion and cross obstacles. With the small snake robot technology matures, it will be smaller and may into the human body for some diagnosis or treatment work.
