Snake Robots at NTNU and SINTEF

[IEEE CSS Video Clip Contest 2014 Submission]
The video presents control systems technology for snake robots developed at NTNU and SINTEF in Norway. The following robots are featured in the video:

Anna Konda: A water hydraulic snake robot developed to demonstrate a self-propelled fire hose for future firefighting applications.

Piko: Snake robot for pipe inspection.

Aiko and Wheeko: Snake robots developed to investigate control strategies for flat surface locomotion.

Kulko and Mamba: Snake robots with tactile sensing capabilities developed to investigate adaptive locomotion control in cluttered environments (obstacle-aided locomotion).

The video illustrates control theory and motion control concepts for snake robots, including obstacle-aided locomotion and the application of nonlinear systems control theory for path following control of snake robots.
