Sammendrag
This paper considers maneuvering control of planar
snake robots, for which the equations of motion are
described based on a simplified model. In particular, we aim
to stabilize a desired straight line path for the position of
the center of mass of the robot, and to regulate the forward
velocity of the robot along the path to a constant reference
velocity. In order to solve this problem, we first stabilize a
desired gait pattern for the fully-actuated body shape variables
of the robot. Furthermore, we use the parameters of this gait
pattern in the form of two dynamic compensators which control
orientation and position of the robot in the plane. In particular,
by solving the maneuvering problem, we control the body shape,
orientation, and planar position of the robot.
