This paper presents the design and realization of a bioinspired snake robot that can move on the water surface. This robot mimics the locomotion strategies of anguilliform fishes such as eels and lampreys, which have a thin, long, cylindrical body and whose movement resembles the crawling of a snake. An autonomous underwater vehicle with such a shape can pass through narrow crevices and reach places inaccessible to other swimming robots. Moreover, this locomotion entails a high energy efficiency and outstanding agility in maneuvers. The body of the bioinspired robot consists of a modular structure in which each module contains a battery, the electronic board, and a servo motor that drives the following module. The head of the robot has a different shape as it contains a camera and an ultrasonic sensor used to detect obstacles. In addition to the design of the robot, this paper also describes the implementation of the kinematic model.
