Since a snake achieves various movements just by a slender body, the mechanism of it is very amazing Many researches have been focusing on a snake like robot and have done for it on the ground. However the meander motion of the snake not only can be done by ground creatures, but also can be done by a water creature such as a sea snake or an eel. Therefore, the purpose of our research is to develop an autonomous underwater robot like the sea snake. As an approach to this goal, we develop an experimental sea snake-like-robot for examining basic characteristics, including propulsion, a turning and other performance. Our developed robot is composed of the head and 4 bodies. Each body equips one servomotor, which is operated with pulse signal. In the head unit, 1- chip-microcomputer, which generates the servomotor control signal for realizing a snake motion and the battery, is equipped. Our robot is covered with a rubber film for the waterproof. Using our developed robot, characteristics of the snake-like-robot moved in water are examined.

An active contour model called snake is powerful tool for object contour extraction. But, conventional snakes require exhaustive computing time, sometimes can´t extract complex shape contours due to the properties of energy function, and are also heavily dependent on the position and the shape of an initial snake. To solving these problems, we propose in this paper an improved snake called "shaking snake", based on a greedy algorithm. A shaking snake consist of two steps. According to their appropriateness, we in the first step move each points directly to locations where contours are likely to be located. In the second step, we then align some snake points with a tolerable bound in order to prevent local minima. These processes shake the proposed snake. In the experimental results, we show the process of shaking the proposed shake and comparable performance with a greedy snake. The proposed snake can extract complex shape contours very accurately and run fast, approximately by the factor of five times, than a greedy snake.

There come various types of robot with researches for mobile robot. This paper introduces the multi-joint snake robot having 16 degree of freedom and composing of eight-axis. The biological snake robot uses the forward movement friction and the proposed artificial snake robot uses the un-powered wheel instead of the body of snake. To determine the enable joint angle of each joint, the controller inputs are considered such as color and distance using PC Camera and ultra-sonic sensor module, respectively. The movement method of snake robot is sequential moving from head to tail through body. The target for movement direction is decided by a certain article be displayed in the PC Camera. In moving toward that target, if there is any obstacle then the snake robot can avoid by itself. In this paper, we show the method of snake robot for tracing the target with experiment.

Let G be a (p, q) graph. Let f be a map from V (G) to {1, 2, ${\ldots}$, p}. For each edge uv, assign the label ${\mid}f(u)-f(\nu){\mid}$. f is called a difference cordial labeling if f is a one to one map and ${\mid}e_f(0)-e_f(1){\mid}{\leq}1$ where $e_f(1)$ and $e_f(0)$ denote the number of edges labeled with 1 and not labeled with 1 respectively. A graph with admits a difference cordial labeling is called a difference cordial graph. In this paper, we investigate the difference cordial labeling behavior of triangular snake, Quadrilateral snake, double triangular snake, double quadrilateral snake and alternate snakes.

본 논문은 Snake 모델을 이용하여 동영상에서 주위 환경 변화에 적응 가능한 다중 이동 객체 추적 시스템을 제안하였다. Snake 모델은 배경이 복잡한 영상에 대해선 객체의 윤곽선을 정확히 표현하지 못하므로 영상분할 시 초기 위치에 따라 민감하게 영향을 받는다. 제안된 시스템은 프레임간의 차(difference)영상을 이용하여 배경영상을 획득하고, 픽셀의 인접성을 조사하여 객체를 분할하고 위치 특징 값을 구하며, 분할된 특징 값들을 Snake모델의 초기 위치 값으로 부여함으로써 초기 위치 값에 민감한 Snake 모델을 개선하였다 또한 본 시스템은 복잡한 배경 영상을 단순화하고, Snake를 이루는 각 정점들을 객체의 위치로 놓이게 함으로써 탐색 공간을 줄였다. 30fps로 저장된 AVI파일을 적용함으로써 다중 이동차량 추적 시스템으로의 응용 가능함을 보였다.

p-Snake는 기존의 동적윤곽모델(Active Contour Model)에 원형에너지를 추가로 적용한 에너지 최소화 알고리즘으로 에지 정보가 명확하지 않은 영역에서의 윤곽선 추출을 위해 사용된 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 원과 직선 프리미티브(primitive)의 조합으로 표현되는 가변 원형(prototype)과 퍼지 함수를 적용한 원형에너지장의 생성 기법을 제안하여 p-Snake의 윤곽선 추출 성능을 개선하였다. 제안 방법은 입력된 부품 코드를 기반으로 원형을 정의하고 전처리 과정을 통해 구해진 각 프리미티브 구간에서 대략적인 초기 윤곽을 검출한 후, 프리미티브들이 가변적으로 적응하여 원형을 생성하고 여기에 원형과의 거리에 따른 윤곽 확률을 퍼지 함수를 통해 계산하여 원형에너지 장을 생성하였다. 이를 p-Snake에 적용하여 다양한 소형부품들을 대상으로 준비한 200장의 영상에서 윤곽선을 검출하고, 원형과의 유사도를 비교한 결과 적응 원형을 사용한 p-Snake가 기존의 Snake에 비해 약 4.6% 가량 우수함을 보였다.

Gradient vector flow(GVF) snake 또는 active contour 모델은 영상 분할에서 훌륭한 성능을 보여준다. 그러나 기존의 snake 모델에는 제한된 캡쳐 영역과 요면으로의 느린 진행과 같은 문제점들이 존재한다. 본 논문은 주변의 필드로부터 외부장(external force field)을 확장시키고 변형된 평탄화기법을 이용하여 확장된 필드를 정규화 함으로서 GVF snake 모델의 성능을 개선시키는 새로운 방법을 제시한다. 시뮬레이션을 위해 사용된 U자 모양 이미지에서의 결과는 제안된 방법이 좀 더 큰 캡쳐 영역을 갖고 기존의 GVF snake 모델에 비하여 요면으로 빠르게 진행하는 것이 가능함을 보여준다.

A Snake is an active contour for representing object contours. Traditional snake algorithms are often used to represent the contour of a single object. However, if there is more than one object in the image, the snake model must be adaptive to determine the corresponding contour of each object. Also, the previous initialized snake contours risk getting the wrong results when tracking multiple objects in successive frames due to the weak topology changes. To overcome this problem, in this paper, we present a new snake method for efficiently tracking contours of multiple objects. Our proposed algorithm can provide a straightforward approach for snake contour rapid splitting and connection, which usually cannot be gracefully handled by traditional snakes. Experimental results of various test sequence images with multiple objects have shown good performance, which proves that the proposed method is both effective and accurate.

Snake robots are slower than wheeled robots or legged robots, while they have an excellent terrainability in a disastrous area. Considering their advantages and disadvantages, a legged robot whose legs are snake robots, 'Quadnake' was proposed in this research. Five motions of the snake were analyzed. Applying these motions, Quadnake could implement eight kinds of motions which snake robots and quadruped walking robots can implement. As a result of it, Quadnake can have the advantages of both a snake robot and a walking robot. It is expected to move stably in a harsh terrain with snake's motion and move fast with walking.
