Modsnake,
Using rapid prototyping techniques, and entirely off-the-shelf
technology, the modular snake robots are fast, (relatively)
inexpensive, and effective platforms for proofing new ideas
in mechanism, sensor, and biomimetic locomotion design.

Snoopy,
Optimizing weight, joint torque, length and range of motion
produced this 14 degrees-of-freedom robot.

Medusa,
Using the 120 Singular Angular Bevel joint, we were able to
consturct this highly articulated snake robot.

ETR,
and Elephant Trunk Robot. Snoopy is mounted on the a rugged
mobile base to extent it's reach. This robot was designed
with search and rescue applications in mind.

| Two
Degrees of Freedom Joints : |
 |
90
Angular Bevel: Using of the shelf angular bevel gear
this joint was design to produce 90 degrees range of motion.

90
Gearless Double Angular Swivel:
This joint design achives two degrees of freedom without
using neither bevel gears not a universal joint to connect
the links.

|
 |
120
Double Angular Bevel: This joint was desgin to maximize
angular travel. The range of this joint is +/- 120 degrees
in any direction from the start configuration.

120
Single Angular Bevel:
This is our final joint design. Not only this joint design
has 120 degrees range of motion but also a though hole to
allow an internal passage for wiring.
