About this deal

To control the motors, we will be getting the base reading from all three sensors first (these are stored in photocellReading#).

Our snake will contain three groups of LEDs, each with 6-7 lights on each strand. To create groups of LEDs, it is the same process as creating a single group with only one LED in it. In our snake we used Pin 5, Pin 6, and Pin 7 to control the different strands of the LEDs. Also to save space on our breadboard, we connected each LED group to the same resistor that then connected to ground.Make sure that after "PORT:" it says something like "usbserial-A700xxx". If not, select "RESCAN SERIAL PORTS". The vibration motor is added to simulate the a rattling tail on a snake. We were given our vibration motor from class, so we do not have a model number, but just like the other steps of this project, use the size motor that best fits the snake that you are building. We wanted the smallest motor possible, so that it would be able to fit on the small tail piece we were building. The ambient light sensor will need to be placed near the center or end of the snake, at least far enough away that it will not sense any light aimed towards the head. Snakebots are used in situations where their characteristics give them an advantage over their environment. These environments tend to be long and thin like pipes or highly cluttered like rubble. Thus, Snakebots are currently being developed to assist search and rescue teams. When a task requires several different obstacles to be overcome, the locomotive flexibility of SnakeBots potentially offers an advantage. [4] The team created the robot to mimic the snakes’ movements. They say that compared to robot snakes from other studies, their creation is more stable than all but one, and came close to matching a real snake’s speed.

Allow the head base fabric to have extra 1 or 2 inch of indent so it has extra room for all the materials to be in the head. The SnakeBot, also known as a snake robot, is a biomorphic hyper-redundant robot that resembles a biological snake. Snake robots come in many shapes and sizes, from as long as four stories (earthquake SnakeBot developed by SINTEF [1]) to a medical SnakeBot developed at Carnegie Mellon University that is thin enough to maneuver around organs inside a human chest cavity. Though SnakeBots can very greatly in size and design, there are two qualities that all SnakeBot share. The small cross-section-to-length ratios allow them to move into and maneuver through tight spaces and their ability to change the shape of their bodies allows them to perform a wide range of behaviors, such as climbing stairs or tree trunks. Additionally, many snake robots are constructed by chaining together several independent links. This redundancy can make them resistant to failure because they can continue to operate even if parts of their body are destroyed. Properties such as high terrainability, redundancy, and the possibility of complete sealing of the body of the robot, make snake robots very interesting for practical applications and hence as a research topic. [2] [3] A SnakeBot is different from a snake-arm robot in that the SnakeBot robot types are usually more self-contained, where a snake-arm robot usually has remote mechanicals from the arm itself, possibly connected to a larger system. Attach wire into the Channel A and Channel B slots on the motor shield and attach the ends of the motors. You do not have to solder these yet, it will be easier if they are just twisted around the positive and negative tabs for easy removal in future steps. Acquire velcro. Cut them into vertical length of balsa wood bases. Make 2 thin pieces for each base pieces. glue the velcro hook on the bottom of the wood base. Allow couple hours until the velcro gets stabled onto the wood. Traditional SnakeBots move by changing the shape of their body, similar to actual snakes. Many variants have been created which use wheels or treads for movement. No SnakeBots have been developed yet that can completely mimic the locomotion of real snakes, but researchers have been able to produce new ways of moving that do not occur in nature.By using the circuit diagram, set up the one LED to the breadboard and arduino. For this step, we removed the photocell sensors, so it would be easier to see the LED circuit. We recommend doing this also, it makes it easier to complete each step without previous work getting in the way of the breadboard, and eventually we wanted to reorganize the breadboard so it was configured as optimally as we could get it. Most likely, you will need to reorganize your breadboard also. Scientists observed how snakes moved and used this information to make a robot that can climb large steps in a nimble and stable fashion.
