Abstract

Based on the research and analysis of the snake robot at home and abroad, combined with its structural design and theoretical status, a snake robot based on orthogonal joint and wheel modules connection is designed and studied, which can solve a variety of practical ground environment, overcome the limitation that the work space is two-dimensional plane, combined with the complex terrain environment of practical application scenes. Through the control terminal provided by the WEB service of Raspberry Pi deployed, the serpentine robot can realize 3D movement in the working space, high-speed movement on flat terrain, plane turning detour, and has the ability to cross obstacles, grooving terrain and other complex terrain environment. Meanwhile, users can record, take photos, move and other commands through the WEB interface. The motion control system of the snake robot mainly consists of four parts: main controller, visual imaging module, power module and signal source. Remote control can be realized by wireless remote control or WEB control. The WEB control end can provide real-time infrared thermal imaging, RGB images and audio feedback.
