Biologically inspired robots: snake-like locomotors and manipulators
Abstract
The locomotive dynamics of the Active Cord Mechanism (creeping dynamics) the morphology of creeping movements the kinematics of regular creeping motion adaptive functions of creeping motion creeping motion in rough terrain artificial creeping motion as performed by the active chord mechanism the locomotion and control of an Active Chord Mechanism with tactile sense development of the ACM as a gripper development of the ACM as a manipulator development of ACM as a locomotive engine. Appendices: observations of gliding tracks anatomical configuration of the snake body.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
