Abstract
Understanding and mimicking muscles in robotics has been an intensive but important challenge for engineers to overcome. Problems from rigid locomotion come from their limited degrees of freedom which makes it difficult to navigate against demanding terrains, such as rubble or tight spaces. Bio-inspired robotics “is one of the fields of research that has shown a high capacity to solve these kinds of problems” (Cortez) due to their versatility, allowing for problem solving movements in a variety of risky situations. The snake muscle model is a prime example of efficient versatility, thus “snake robots are considered a promising configuration for the exploration of difficult-to-reach terrain or constrained places in which wheeled robots or even legged configurations may not be useful” (Cortez) and make a great first step towards understanding the relationship between muscle, skin, and movement.
