“…According to the space environment of movement, bionic robots are mainly divided into bionic underwater robot (Kelasidi et al , 2017), bionic land robot (Tavakoli et al , 2010) and bionic aerial robot (Chen and Zhang, 2019). Among them, according to the way of moving, the bionic land robots are mainly divided into jumping bionic robot (Su et al , 2017), wheeled bionic robot (Liu et al , 2015), legged bionic robot (Zhong and Ma, 2020) and legless bionic robot (Hirose and Mori, 2004). There are different movement modes of bionic robots with different special applications.…”

Purpose Snake-inspired robots are of great significance in many fields because of their great adaptability to the environment. This paper aims to systematically illustrate the research progress of snake-inspired robots according to their application environments. It classifies snake-inspired robots according to the numbers of degrees of freedom in each joint and briefly describes the modeling and control of snake-inspired robots. Finally, the application fields and future development trends of snake-inspired robots are analyzed and discussed. Design/methodology/approach This paper summarizes the research progress of snake-inspired robots and clarifies the requirements of snake-inspired robots for self-adaptive environments and multi-functional tasks. By equipping various sensors and tool modules, snake-inspired robots are developed from fixed-point operation in a single environment to autonomous operation in an amphibious environment. Finally, it is pointed out that snake-inspired robots will be developed in terms of rigid and flexible deformable structure, long endurance and multi-function and intelligent autonomous control. Findings Inspired by the modular and reconfigurable concepts of biological snakes, snake-inspired robots are well adapted to unknown and changing environments. Therefore, snake-inspired robots will be widely used in industrial, military, medical, post-disaster search and rescue applications. Snake-inspired robots have become a hot research topic in the field of bionic robots. Originality/value This paper summarizes the research status of snake-inspired robots, which facilitates the reader to be a comprehensive and systematic understanding of the research progress of snake-inspired robots. This helps the reader to gain inspiration from biological perspectives.

Sensors that can detect external stimuli and perceive the surrounding areas could offer an ability for soft biomimetic robots to use the sensory feedback for closed-loop control of locomotion. Although various types of biomimetic robots have been developed, few systems have included integrated stretchable sensors and interconnectors with miniaturized electronics. Here, we introduce a soft, stretchable nanocomposite system with built-in wireless electronics with an aim for feedback−loop motion control of a robotic earthworm. The nanostructured strain sensor, based on a carbon nanomaterial and a low-modulus silicone elastomer, allows for seamless integration with the body of the soft robot that can accommodate large strains caused by bending, stretching, and physical interactions with obstacles. A scalable, cost-effective, and screen-printing method manufactures an array of the strain sensors that are conductive and stretchable over 100% with a gauge factor over 38. An array of nanomembrane interconnectors enables a reliable connection between soft sensors and wireless electronics while tolerating the robot's multimodal movements. A set of computational and experimental studies of soft materials, stretchable mechanics, and hybrid packaging provides the key design factors for a reliable, nanocomposite sensor system. The miniaturized wireless circuit, embedded in the robot joint, offers real-time monitoring of strain changes during the motions of a robotic segment. Collectively, the soft sensor system presented in this work shows great potential to be integrated with other flexible, stretchable electronics for applications in soft robotics, wearable devices, and human-machine interfaces.

The development of technology in the field of robotics is very fast, but in the eastern regions of Indonesia, namely, the development of the development has not yet felt the impact. Especially in the Universitas Islam Sultan Agung learning media devices for microcontrollers are also not yet available. Therefore the author wants to pioneer by implementing the simplest robot design, the line follower robot, where the robot only goes along the lines. This study uses an experimental method, by conducting a research process based on sequences, namely: needs analysis, mechanical chart design, electronic part design, and control program design, manufacturing, and testing. The line follower robot based on the ATmega32A microcontroller has been tested, and the results show that the line follower robot can walk following the black line on the white floor and can display the situation on the LCD. But this line follower robot still has shortcomings in the line sensor sensitivity process depending on a certain speed. At speeds of 90-150RPM, the line follower robot can follow the path, while more than 150 rpm, the robot is not able to follow the path.
