Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsKinematics Model of Snake Robot Considering Snake ScaleRaisuddin Khan, M. Watanabe, A. A. ShafieProblem statement: In snake robot research, one of the most efficient forms of locomotion is the lateral undulation. However, lateral undulation, also known as serpentine locomotion, is ill-suited for narrow spaces, as the body of the snake must assume a certain amount of curvature to propel forward. Approach: To overcome the inability to adapt to narrow spaces, a novel type … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 8,130 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSilicone Modeling of the Interior Spaces of Hollow Organs: Use in Dog and Manatee Respiratory Tract and in a Beef HeartCharles J. Grossman, Richard Hamilton, Lisa A. Close-Jacob et al.Problem statement: The mechanism, by which the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris) vocalizes, remains unknown because the manatee larynx does not contain true vocal cords. Since sound can be generated when air passes through a narrow respiratory structure we needed to visualize the internal anatomy of manatee respiratory tract to locate any candidate regions for study. Approach: To visualize the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 6 Jul 2011 · 7,803 accessesView PDF Cite
