Abstract

The recent development in robot filed shows that practical application of robot has transferred from industry to human’s daily life. That is, robots which are modeled on human being as well as various animals have shown up. If a robot just moves around certain place as it controls its links, it is not more than a toy for children. A robot has to mount with various sensors to get information from environment, infer environment from sensor information and act properly as human being does with the five senses. In this paper, we made a snake shaped robot mounted with various sensors such as image, gas, temperature and luminosity sensor. The data from sensors is fused by soft-computing method. The snake robot recognizes environment with the fused sensor information and acts according to the result of expert system which is able to infer what proper action is.
