Motion Planning of the Trident Snake Robot: An Endogenous Configuration Space Approach

We address the motion planning problem of the trident snake robot. The problem is solved with the help of the imbalanced Jacobian inverse kinematics algorithm dedicated to nonholonomic systems with constraints. Performance of the algorithm is illustrated with computer simulations.
