R2G2: High Speed Snake Robot

Hi All,

I wanted to share the results my project, a high speed snake robot:

R2G2: Robot with Rectilinear Gait for Ground Operations

http://youtu.be/t4oQos_LYyc

It is composed of:

Arduino Mega Microcontroller

10 Hitec HS-7940TH Servomotors

8 Hitec HS-7950TH Servomotors

Note, the image is Ver. 1 (a 3-module robot). The video link shows the performance of Ver. 2 (4-module robot).

Thanks,

James

Very cool. A snake robot is

Very cool. A snake robot is something I’ve always wanted to try. I really like the earthworm like gait. All the snake bots I’ve seen had a lot of wiggle when trying to move their position, which would make it difficult (if not impossible) to traverse a pipe like in your video. Can’t wait to see more. Some pics of the actuators during the build would also be great if you care to share.

Very cool design and as JerZ

Very cool design and as JerZ already mentioned, i also want to see more :slight_smile:
