Snake Monster - Initial Locomotion

Published on Dec 21, 2014

Initial demonstrations of autonomous walking of "Snake Monster", a hexapod robot built with modular actuators from the Biorobotics Lab's snake robot project. The series-elastic actuators in each joint allow simultaneous position-velocity-torque control, enabling compliant motions using a simple alternating-tripod walking gait. This work is funded by the DARPA M3 program.

Snake Monster Hexapod Robot

Published on Apr 17, 2015

Snake Monster (or MoJo meaning Modular Joint) is a modular and reconfigurable legged robot. In this video MoJo is configured into a hexapod that uses 18 identical series-elastic joint actuators. MoJo is being developed in the Biorobotics lab at Carnegie Mellon. Initial locomotion over flat, rugged, obstacle-filled, and snow covered terrain is demonstrated.

Snake monster mobile manipulation

Published on May 3, 2016

A demonstration of mobile manipulation with "Snake Monster," a hexapod robot built with modular actuators in the Biorobotics Lab, at the Robotics Institute of Carnegie Mellon University. Due to this robot's modular architecture, it is simple to change hardware from a passive rubber foot to a grasping end effector. The resulting leg can then be used for both locomotion and manipulation.
