Advancing Snake-inspired Robots: Integrating Locomotion and Manipulation #robotics #tech #shorts

Northeastern University researchers, led by Prof. Alireza Ramezani, have introduced a groundbreaking approach to enhance snake-inspired robots' capabilities, enabling both locomotion and manipulation simultaneously. Through their work on the COBRA robot, which features versatile movement abilities, including tumbling and shape-shifting, the team integrated a gripper mechanism to facilitate object manipulation. Their optimization-based planner considers ground reaction forces, paving the way for seamless control of the robot's movements and manipulation strategies. This innovative research demonstrates the feasibility of multifunctional snake robots, potentially revolutionizing various industries with their ability to navigate confined spaces, manipulate objects, and tackle complex tasks autonomously.
