Abstract :
Biological snakes´ diverse locomotion modes and physiology make them supremely adapted for the ground. This paper discusses the biological snakes´ locomotion mode on the diverse ground, and describes the environment-adaptable locomotion of a snake-like robot. The method to realize some locomotion modes is given. The method for detecting the characteristic of ground is proposed and identified in test
