Snake robot: current state of the art and future trend

This paper discusses the current state of the art of research and future trend of research activity towards achieving mechanisms and technology for useful implementation of efficient snake robots. Snake robot is meant to mimic motion of a natural snake, which does not possess any limb. Natural sna...
