Application of AI Techniques for Modelling Motion of a Snake

The study of biomimetic robots has been around for a long while ; a particular attention has been given to robots that can operate autonomously in real-world environments. The aim of such robots would be to aid, or replace humans in dangerous or perilous tasks. An example that comes to mind is the bomb disposal, bush fires or detection robot controlled by a human operator. Our challenge in general and especially the focus of this research is to duplicate animal locomotion, and the decision-making processes. By studying the physiological (biological) processes we want to encapsulate this behaviour into readily available software, computer and electro-mechanical technology.
