N2 - Snakes utilize terrain irregularities and attain propulsion force by pushing their bodies against scaffolds. We have previously proposed a local reflexive mechanism of snake locomotion that exploits its body softness. In this study, we develop a soft-bodied snake-like robot to investigate the validity of the proposed mechanism in the real world.
