Range Sensor-Based Obstacle Avoidance of a Hyper-Redundant Robot

In recent times, the development of the bio-mimicking is increasing in the robotics field. This paper discusses the design of the hyper-redundant robot and manoeuvring in the environment. The robot works on the Coulomb’s friction law where the friction between robot and surface helps to move the robot. The robot models are fabricated by 3D printing. The robot uses passive wheels for its locomotion. A range sensor is used to detect the obstacles in the environment. A Bluetooth module is utilized for the wireless control of the robot. This paper describes the design of the hyper-redundant robot to avoid the obstacles in the environment using a range sensor and the robot follows the serpentine motion for the locomotion.
