  • Abstract
    We have developed the snake-like robot since 1972. The body of snake has "the function of an arm" when it holds something by coiling itself and also has "the function of legs" when it moves by creeping. The body of ACM has several functions, which are fulfilled one after another according to the situation. Especially in this paper, it introduces about the various move method realized about the move function using 3-dimensional type ACM, and its feature
