Abstract

Local controllability of a trident snake robot is solved by means of 5D conformal geometric algebra. The non–holonomic kinematic equations are assembled, their property to be a Pfaff system is discussed and the solution is found. The functionality is demonstrated on a virtual model in CLUCalc programme.
