  • Abstract
    In a recent paper, the authors have proposed a control strategy for a snake robot during obstacle-aided locomotion. In this paper, experimental results are presented where the controller is shown to successfully maintain the forward propulsion of a physical snake robot in a course with different obstacle configurations.
