Video Friday: Ladder-Climbing Snake Robot, and More

IROS has just ended in Spain but our coverage continues and we'll be bringing you more stories over the next week or two. Today we have a special edition of Video Friday, featuring some of the best videos from the conference. Next week, Video Friday returns to its normal format, so if you have video suggestions, keep them coming as usual. In this paper, we propose a 3D walking and skating motion generation method to achieve sequential walking and skating motion with skateboard and roller skate. For gener- ating the sequential stable skating motion using passive wheel, we must deal with non-coplanar contacts with anisotropic friction.
